Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Pixel Plex sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Rich Man Business Simulator sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rich Man Business Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.1K and 1.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Pixel Plex's written reviews are positive against 62% of Rich Man Business Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pixel Plex ships an update weekly, Rich Man Business Simulator every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
