Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Construction Excavator Sim at Free against Construction Simulator 4's $4.99. Construction Excavator Sim also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 83). Construction Simulator 4's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (34% vs 5%). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Construction Excavator Sim holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Construction Excavator Sim has 5.6K ratings behind it against 83, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of Construction Excavator Sim's written reviews are positive against 34% of Construction Simulator 4's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Construction Excavator Sim ships an update every 5 weeks, Construction Simulator 4 weekly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
