Congratulations, you’ve been elected Mayor! Now you need to sit at the Mayor’s Table and make decisions that will either lead your city to prosperity or ruin. Can you balance the variables and keep your stakeholders and citizens happy? Or will you have to step down as Mayor before your term ends? You’ll be presented with a number of different dilemmas regarding waste management. You decide which dilemmas to prioritize and what choices to make. But be careful – dilemmas can expire, and your choices can have great consequences. You have to balance your scores in four different areas: Environment, Technology, Social and Economics. Neglect one, and you may be forced to step down as Mayor.

CTMayor offers three distinct simulation modes, each focusing on a different era and style of city management: • Ancient Rome Mode Rule as a provincial governor of the Roman Empire. Plan and grow prosperous cities, satisfy citizens’ needs, and respond to disasters, divine unrest, and hostile forces. Inspired by classic Roman city-building simulations. • Classic City Mode Design and manage a modern city by zoning residential, commercial, and industrial areas, building infrastructure, and collecting taxes to support expansion. Maintain quality of life, balance the economy, and monitor environmental health to prevent decline or bankruptcy. Inspired by early city-building classics. • Transport Company Mode Create and operate a comprehensive transport network using trucks, buses, trains, aircraft, and ships. Connect towns and industries, deliver cargo efficiently, and reinvest profits to expand your network. Spanning 1950–2050, your objective is to achieve the highest performance rating.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mayor's Table at none against CTMayor's 1. Mayor's Table also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 47%). CTMayor's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (41 vs 5). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. CTMayor sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per year. Mayor's Table asks for nothing beyond the download.
CTMayor holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CTMayor has 41 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Mayor's Table's written reviews are positive against 47% of CTMayor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mayor's Table ships an update every 2 months, CTMayor every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
