Verdict
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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
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.
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.
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.
