# Ling vs MySIMApp

The clearest difference is rating: Ling at 4.7 against MySIMApp's 3.7. Ling also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 3). MySIMApp's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 22). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ling sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. MySIMApp asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ling holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ling has 3.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Ling's written reviews are positive against 50% of MySIMApp's.

Ling ships an update weekly, MySIMApp every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
