Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: eRepublik at 5.0 against Democracy Simulator's 3.6. eRepublik also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Democracy Simulator's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 33%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. eRepublik sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Democracy Simulator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

eRepublik holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Democracy Simulator has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of eRepublik's written reviews are positive against 64% of Democracy Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

eRepublik ships an update every 3 months, Democracy Simulator every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
