# Rippple vs Simalytics

The clearest difference is rating: Simalytics at 4.7 against Rippple's 4.2. Simalytics also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). Rippple's advantage is ratings volume (88 vs 6) and review sentiment (64% vs 50%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rippple sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Simalytics asks for nothing beyond the download.

Simalytics holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rippple has 88 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Rippple's written reviews are positive against 50% of Simalytics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Rippple ships an update every 5 weeks, Simalytics every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
