Honestly after owning magna-tiles, connetix, and picassotiles, Picasso are the only one I'll ever buy again, they have the strongest magnets (tied with connetix) and they have the lowest price. They all are just as durable and perfectly interchangeable, so magnet strength and price are the only real factors that matter.
Picasso tiles 100pc and 150pc marble run sets are the best price/piece if you want to make marble runs, that's what me, my partner, and the kids all love most. I promise you'll regret your magna tiles if you ever get the other two, and you'll regret spending 4x as much on connetix for the literal same thing from Picasso

The original brand definitely seems way overpriced to the point that even when they go 50% off it's still questionable pricing. Not as bad as BRIO trains through.
But we're also an actively growing family with a 3yo, baby, and will likely have a third at some point. If all the kids were past the age of sticking anything and everything in their mouths, or if I were buying them for something like a preschool classroom, I'd likely go the Picassotiles route. But for us, the extra money for what I'm sure will be many years of safer play is worth it.
Rivets are marketing only, any of the three brand tiles will crack and break when stepped on or dropped on hard floors, the rivets do nothing for durability or safety.
Magna have smaller magnets, making structures weaker which is an immediate disqualification, seeing your tower crumble only because of its own weight is disheartening and limits the building options.
Connetix are definitely good, but their price is insane.
Picasso are seriously JUST as good as connetix, the magnets are the exact same size, you can verify this holding them up to one another, the largest of any of the tile brands, and the construction quality is the same, connetix do have rivets but I promise, it's just marketing. The tiles will crack in ways that rivets do not do anything for.
Speaking specifically on marble runs (our family's go-to) the Picasso also have the ability to rotate tubes 45 degrees, allowing advanced building options (the kids hardly use that, but it's a tiny advantage nonetheless)
Picasso Tiles are seriously the only ones that make sense.
I believe they used to have smaller magnets, because many OLDER reviews of them note this, but today, comparing all three brands, they are tied for largest. Maybe they made some updates, some of their slides on Amazon suggest they are "upgraded" but who knows what that means.
I'm just giving you my real experience after spending $400+ across the three brands, and seeing my 4 kids from 3-9 play with them daily, and the 2 adults weekly

The subjective is whether the price is worth it to you. Which isn't a knock on anyone going the cheaper route. I'm sure plenty of folk are a lot more diligent than me when it comes to checking for cracks and breaks, in which case go with God on whatever brand of magnetic tile journey he takes you on. But spending more money to limit how often you may end up playing a game of "who finds the stray magnet first" with your toddler is far from a regrettable investment.
Bear in mind I can't speak to Connetix or Playmags. Magnatiles and Picassotiles are all I or my kids have handled.
ALL are ultrasonically welded at the seams (turning two pieces of plastic into one essentially).
The rivets do NOTHING to stop the 99% plastic tile from cracking, which is how they all fail. Usually from being stepped on or dropped. The rivets only hold together the corners, which once again, is absolutely useless with how the tiles will ever break. The plastic in the corners has the same strength allllll around the rivet, it's going to fail the same.
I guarantee that when you have a tile with a cracked corner, or cracked face, Rivets beautifully still present and unblemished, you will decide it's a hazard and toss it out anyways. Once again, it's a non-feature in the real world. The tiles do not fail from the sides separating, which is the only thing rivets would prevent. They do not strengthen the tiles. So if you want to spend your money for metal jewelry in the corners of your children's toys, by all means do so, but lying to oneself about it's utility does nobody favors when looking for product value.

Nobody on here needs a lecture they did not ask for. Come on do better, or at least stop lying to oneself about being helpful.

I'm trying to provide info for all the people who don't know what makes a good magnetic tile. The things I stated are the reality of these toys, I'm only emphasizing to counter the marketing bs that gets parroted after someone reads why Magna the brand wants you to believe Magna is "better".

I don't like bullies. I don't care about the merits of one of these tile things or another. I just don't like bullies and you were coming across as one.
