Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BrickNav at none against BrickFolio's 4. BrickNav also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.2). BrickFolio's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
