# Brick vs Quenza

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Brick at 59K against Quenza's 1. Brick also leads on chart position (#76 vs unranked). Quenza's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Brick against 5.0 for Quenza. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brick has 59K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Brick ships an update every 4 days, Quenza every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
