# Computer Building Simulator vs PC Creator 3

The clearest difference is rating: PC Creator 3 at 4.7 against Computer Building Simulator's 1.9. PC Creator 3 also leads on review sentiment (31% vs 11%). Computer Building Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (295 vs 13) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Computer Building Simulator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PC Creator 3 sells 31 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PC Creator 3 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Computer Building Simulator has 295 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 11% of Computer Building Simulator's written reviews are positive against 31% of PC Creator 3's.
