# Disc Brick vs RA Tracker

The clearest difference is update cadence: RA Tracker at every 2 weeks against Disc Brick's every 6 weeks. Disc Brick's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (468 vs 50). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Disc Brick sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and RA Tracker sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Disc Brick holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Disc Brick has 468 ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Disc Brick's written reviews are positive against 85% of RA Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Disc Brick ships an update every 6 weeks, RA Tracker every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
