Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bad Bridge at 4.6 against Cargo Bridge HD Lite's 3.9. Bad Bridge also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (921 vs 8). Cargo Bridge HD Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bad Bridge holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bad Bridge has 921 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Cargo Bridge HD Lite's written reviews are positive against 65% of Bad Bridge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cargo Bridge HD Lite ships an update every 13 months, Bad Bridge every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
