# VCE vs VCE Simulator

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VCE at none against VCE Simulator's 8. VCE also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.6). VCE Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VCE Simulator sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $99.99 per month. VCE asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 1.0 for VCE against 1.1 for VCE Simulator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VCE Simulator has 29 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
