# FSM vs Simplero

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FSM at 100% against Simplero's 58%. FSM also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Simplero's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FSM sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Simplero asks for nothing beyond the download.

FSM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simplero has 1.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of FSM's written reviews are positive against 58% of Simplero's.
