# Buildcraft vs World Craft HD

The clearest difference is rating: World Craft HD at 4.4 against Buildcraft's 3.6. World Craft HD also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 816). Buildcraft's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. World Craft HD sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Buildcraft asks for nothing beyond the download.

World Craft HD holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Craft HD has 12K ratings behind it against 816, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Buildcraft's written reviews are positive against 23% of World Craft HD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Buildcraft ships an update every 3 months, World Craft HD monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
