# DOODLE SQUARES vs MacBrickout

The clearest difference is rating: MacBrickout at 4.4 against DOODLE SQUARES's 3.9. MacBrickout also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). DOODLE SQUARES's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (478 vs 92). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DOODLE SQUARES sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and MacBrickout sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MacBrickout holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DOODLE SQUARES has 478 ratings behind it against 92, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of DOODLE SQUARES's written reviews are positive against 83% of MacBrickout's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DOODLE SQUARES ships an update every 2 months, MacBrickout every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
