# BrickHunter vs Brick Collector

The clearest difference is rating: Brick Collector at 4.4 against BrickHunter's 3.2. Brick Collector also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (64 vs 6). BrickHunter's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
