Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Brickies at none against Cannon Man's shown. Brickies also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Cannon Man's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 19). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
