Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: The Brass Tap at none against Pie Tap's shown. The Brass Tap also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Pie Tap's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and review sentiment (50% vs 26%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Brass Tap holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pie Tap has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of The Brass Tap's written reviews are positive against 50% of Pie Tap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
