# PC Simulator vs Laptop Tycoon

The clearest difference is rating: PC Simulator at 3.9 against Laptop Tycoon's 2.7. Laptop Tycoon's advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 23%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PC Simulator sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Laptop Tycoon sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PC Simulator holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 118 and 239 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of PC Simulator's written reviews are positive against 32% of Laptop Tycoon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
