# METBOY! vs Bricky Boy

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bricky Boy at 823 against METBOY!'s 18. Bricky Boy also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). METBOY!'s advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 68%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. METBOY! sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Bricky Boy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for METBOY! against 4.7 for Bricky Boy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bricky Boy has 823 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two.
