# Sets Collector vs BrickBin

BrickBin's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Sets Collector ships an update every 3 weeks, BrickBin every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
