# Prison Tycoon Simulator vs Prison Real Simulator

The clearest difference is rating: Prison Real Simulator at 4.3 against Prison Tycoon Simulator's 2.2. Prison Real Simulator also leads on ratings volume (568 vs 33). Prison Tycoon Simulator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 20) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prison Real Simulator sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Prison Tycoon Simulator asks for nothing beyond the download.

Prison Real Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prison Real Simulator has 568 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Prison Tycoon Simulator's written reviews are positive against 13% of Prison Real Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
