Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Circuroid at 88% against Brickies's 34%. Circuroid also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (122 vs 19). Brickies's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
