Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Road Place Lite at none against Canal Constructor's 8. Road Place Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Canal Constructor's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
