# Bridge Constructor vs Megapolis

The clearest difference is price: Megapolis at Free against Bridge Constructor's $0.99. Megapolis also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (28K vs 1.1K). Bridge Constructor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (72% vs 59%). On rating, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Megapolis is free to download; Bridge Constructor costs $0.99 up front. Bridge Constructor sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Megapolis sells 13 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 — 4.5 for Bridge Constructor against 4.6 for Megapolis. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Megapolis has 28K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Bridge Constructor's written reviews are positive against 59% of Megapolis's.
