# Rap Quest 2 vs Life Simulator

The clearest difference is update cadence: Life Simulator at every 9 days against Rap Quest 2's every 2 months. Life Simulator also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.1). Rap Quest 2's advantage is review sentiment (58% vs 50%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rap Quest 2 sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Life Simulator sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Life Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 487 and 792 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Rap Quest 2's written reviews are positive against 50% of Life Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Rap Quest 2 ships an update every 2 months, Life Simulator every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
