# Autodesk Forma vs BLDR PRO

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BLDR PRO at none against Autodesk Forma's 7. BLDR PRO also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Autodesk Forma's advantage is ratings volume (22K vs 7) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Autodesk Forma sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. BLDR PRO asks for nothing beyond the download.

Autodesk Forma holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Autodesk Forma has 22K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
