# Demolish! vs Destruction simulator

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Destruction simulator at 64% against Demolish!'s 21%. Demolish!'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (112K vs 50). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Demolish! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Destruction simulator sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Demolish! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Demolish! has 112K ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Demolish!'s written reviews are positive against 64% of Destruction simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Demolish! ships an update every 3 weeks, Destruction simulator every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
