Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Scanfig at 4.6 against BrickHub's 3.0. Scanfig also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). BrickHub's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (70% vs 58%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scanfig holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scanfig has 377 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Scanfig's written reviews are positive against 70% of BrickHub's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Scanfig ships an update every 3 months, BrickHub every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
