A simple comparison of construction cost between a Linear and a Circular Accelerator is made. Two simplified models are proposed and studied. The comparison is made with the two major magnet and RF cavity components. An approximated criterion is found according to which the Circular Accelerator is indeed the more economical of the two provided that the beam circulates a minimum number of turns.
