# Building Run vs Level Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Level Maker at 3.6 against Building Run's 2.5. Level Maker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months). Building Run's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (82% vs 54%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Level Maker sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Building Run asks for nothing beyond the download.

Level Maker holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Level Maker has 90 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Building Run's written reviews are positive against 54% of Level Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Building Run ships an update every 12 months, Level Maker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 31, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
