Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Model Railways sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Destroy and Build sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Model Railways against 4.6 for Destroy and Build. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Model Railways has 2.4K ratings behind it against 156, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 24% of Model Railways's written reviews are positive against 20% of Destroy and Build's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
