Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: REALITi at 3.8 against SIMVS Student's 3.2. REALITi also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (32 vs 5). SIMVS Student's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 41%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
REALITi holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: REALITi has 32 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of REALITi's written reviews are positive against 50% of SIMVS Student's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
REALITi ships an update every 5 weeks, SIMVS Student every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
