# Numba vs Brickle!

The clearest difference is price: Brickle! at Free against Numba's $0.99. Brickle! also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 30 months). Numba's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ratings volume (21 vs 4). On review sentiment, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Brickle! is free to download; Numba costs $0.99 up front. Brickle! sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Numba asks for nothing beyond the download.

Brickle! holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Numba has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Numba's written reviews are positive against 50% of Brickle!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Numba ships an update every 30 months, Brickle! every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
