# Brick vs Mentrack

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Brick at 61K against Mentrack's 1. Brick also leads on chart position (#97 vs unranked). Mentrack's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). 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 Mentrack.
