Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Brickies at none against Gopogo's shown. Brickies also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). Gopogo's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 34%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Brickies sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Gopogo sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Brickies holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 19 and 34 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Brickies's written reviews are positive against 43% of Gopogo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Brickies ships an update every 2 weeks, Gopogo every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
