Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PewPew Live at none against Bricky Boy's 1. PewPew Live also leads on ads (none vs shown). Bricky Boy's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bricky Boy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. PewPew Live asks for nothing beyond the download.
Bricky Boy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bricky Boy has 823 ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Bricky Boy's written reviews are positive against 74% of PewPew Live's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bricky Boy ships an update every 10 days, PewPew Live every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
