# Real Cat Simulator vs Dragon Life Simulator

The clearest difference is rating: Dragon Life Simulator at 4.4 against Real Cat Simulator's 2.1. Dragon Life Simulator also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months). Real Cat Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Real Cat Simulator sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Dragon Life Simulator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
