# Construction City 2 vs Train Simulator

The clearest difference is ads: Construction City 2 at none against Train Simulator's shown. Construction City 2 also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Train Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (5.3K vs 43) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Construction City 2 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Train Simulator sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Train Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Train Simulator has 5.3K ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 64% and 64% positive.
