# Construction Simulator PRO vs Boat Master

The clearest difference is ads: Boat Master at none against Construction Simulator PRO's shown. Boat Master also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 20%) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 264). Construction Simulator PRO's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Construction Simulator PRO sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Boat Master sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Construction Simulator PRO against 4.5 for Boat Master. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boat Master has 1.7K ratings behind it against 264, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 20% of Construction Simulator PRO's written reviews are positive against 52% of Boat Master's.

Construction Simulator PRO ships an update fortnightly, Boat Master every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
