# DT Controller vs SIM

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DT Controller at 100% against SIM's 43%. DT Controller also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 24) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). SIM's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (445 vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SIM sells 24 one-off in-app purchases. DT Controller asks for nothing beyond the download.

SIM holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SIM has 445 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of DT Controller's written reviews are positive against 43% of SIM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
