Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Minifig Scan at 98% against BLOKEES's 8%. Minifig Scan also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.9) and ratings volume (3K vs 20). BLOKEES's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
