Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ZenDots at 93% against Brickle!'s 50%. ZenDots also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZenDots sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Brickle! sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ZenDots holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZenDots has 179 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of ZenDots's written reviews are positive against 50% of Brickle!'s.
ZenDots ships an update fortnightly, Brickle! every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
