# Helicopter Flight Simulator vs Bridge Builder Simulator

The clearest difference is rating: Bridge Builder Simulator at 4.0 against Helicopter Flight Simulator's 3.4. Bridge Builder Simulator also leads on review sentiment (42% vs 24%) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 85). Helicopter Flight Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (5.1 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Helicopter Flight Simulator sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Bridge Builder Simulator sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bridge Builder Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bridge Builder Simulator has 2.4K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two.
