On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Construction city Excavator 3d holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Construction city Excavator 3d has 595 ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Construction city Excavator 3d's written reviews are positive against 38% of Construction Simulator 4 Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Construction city Excavator 3d ships an update monthly, Construction Simulator 4 Lite every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
