Verdict

The call

Space Spot! and Brickit both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Space Spot!'s written reviews are positive against 51% of Brickit's. Space Spot! also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Brickit's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (23K vs 640). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
