Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Brickies at none against Stretch Dungeon's shown. Brickies also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). Stretch Dungeon's advantage is review sentiment (49% vs 34%) and ratings volume (83 vs 19). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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 83 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Brickies's written reviews are positive against 49% of Stretch Dungeon'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, Stretch Dungeon every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
