# Destruction simulator vs Cannon Demolition

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Destruction simulator at 63% against Cannon Demolition's 17%. Cannon Demolition's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (14K vs 102). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Cannon Demolition holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cannon Demolition has 14K ratings behind it against 102, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Destruction simulator's written reviews are positive against 17% of Cannon Demolition's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Destruction simulator ships an update every 2 weeks, Cannon Demolition every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
