ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Builders Idle holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Builders Idle has 312 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Builders Idle's written reviews are positive against 50% of Town Builder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
