Verdict
Brickies and Sky Surfing both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of Sky Surfing's written reviews are positive against 34% of Brickies's. Sky Surfing also leads on ratings volume (7.6K vs 19). Brickies's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
