# SIMPlus vs SIM Card Status Checker

The clearest difference is rating: SIM Card Status Checker at 4.7 against SIMPlus's 3.6. SIM Card Status Checker also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 41%) and ratings volume (881 vs 157). SIMPlus's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SIMPlus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and SIM Card Status Checker sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SIM Card Status Checker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SIM Card Status Checker has 881 ratings behind it against 157, so its average is the more settled of the two.
