Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bag Sim at 100% against Braid Salon's 47%. Bag Sim also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Braid Salon's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 25 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Braid Salon holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Braid Salon has 20K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Braid Salon's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bag Sim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Braid Salon ships an update every 4 days, Bag Sim every 25 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
