Both are free to download. 2048 Math sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 2048 Bricks sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
2048 Bricks holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2048 Bricks has 5.8K ratings behind it against 151, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of 2048 Math's written reviews are positive against 44% of 2048 Bricks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
2048 Math ships an update every 2 weeks, 2048 Bricks every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
