# Brickit vs BrickScan

The clearest difference is rating: BrickScan at 4.9 against Brickit's 4.6. Brickit's advantage is ratings volume (22K vs 1.4K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brickit sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and BrickScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BrickScan holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brickit has 22K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Brickit's written reviews are positive against 59% of BrickScan's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
