# VCE Simulator vs Training for AWS

The clearest difference is rating: Training for AWS at 4.6 against VCE Simulator's 1.1. Training for AWS also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VCE Simulator sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $99.99 per month and Training for AWS sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Training for AWS holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Training for AWS has 916 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 5% of VCE Simulator's written reviews are positive against 22% of Training for AWS's.

VCE Simulator ships an update every 5 months, Training for AWS monthly. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
