# Thread Blast vs Brick Stacks

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Brick Stacks at 96% against Thread Blast's 0%. Brick Stacks also leads on ratings volume (306 vs 2). Thread Blast's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thread Blast sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Brick Stacks sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Thread Blast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brick Stacks has 306 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Thread Blast's written reviews are positive against 96% of Brick Stacks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
