# Autodesk Forma vs Construction Connect

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Autodesk Forma at 22K against Construction Connect's 1. Construction Connect's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Autodesk Forma sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Construction Connect sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Construction Connect holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Autodesk Forma has 22K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
