Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: BrixUP at free against BrickFolio's freemium. BrixUP also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). BrickFolio's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BrickFolio sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and BrixUP sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BrixUP holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BrickFolio has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BrickFolio ships an update every 4 days, BrixUP every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
