Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PC Simulator at 84% against Smartphone Tycoon Inc.'s 28%. PC Simulator also leads on rating (4.3 vs 2.7). Smartphone Tycoon Inc.'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 16 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
