# Construction Simulator PRO vs Build It

The clearest difference is rating: Construction Simulator PRO at 4.4 against Build It's 3.1. Construction Simulator PRO also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (265 vs 34). Build It's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Construction Simulator PRO sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Build It sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Construction Simulator PRO holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Construction Simulator PRO has 265 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Construction Simulator PRO's written reviews are positive against 25% of Build It's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Construction Simulator PRO ships an update fortnightly, Build It every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
