# Persian Setar Pro vs Ney Sim

The clearest difference is rating: Ney Sim at 5.0 against Persian Setar Pro's 2.8. Ney Sim also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). Persian Setar Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Persian Setar Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ney Sim sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ney Sim holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Persian Setar Pro has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Persian Setar Pro ships an update every 7 months, Ney Sim every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
