# Idle Home vs Pro Builder 3D

The clearest difference is rating: Pro Builder 3D at 4.6 against Idle Home's 3.6. Pro Builder 3D also leads on ratings volume (8K vs 191). Idle Home's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Home sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Pro Builder 3D sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pro Builder 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pro Builder 3D has 8K ratings behind it against 191, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Idle Home's written reviews are positive against 21% of Pro Builder 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Idle Home ships an update weekly, Pro Builder 3D every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
