Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Viewer 360 at 3.0 against BIM 360 Field's 2.4. Viewer 360 also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). BIM 360 Field's advantage is review sentiment (27% vs 0%) and ratings volume (29 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Viewer 360 holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BIM 360 Field has 29 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of BIM 360 Field's written reviews are positive against 0% of Viewer 360's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BIM 360 Field ships an update every 6 weeks, Viewer 360 fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
