# simLeaf vs Gentlemen

The clearest difference is price: Gentlemen at Free against simLeaf's $2.99. Gentlemen also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months). simLeaf's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (253 vs 32). On rating, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Gentlemen is free to download; simLeaf costs $2.99 up front. simLeaf sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Gentlemen sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for simLeaf against 4.6 for Gentlemen. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: simLeaf has 253 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 52% of simLeaf's written reviews are positive against 47% of Gentlemen's.

simLeaf ships an update every 3 months, Gentlemen every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
