# CPU Simulator vs Learn & Code

The clearest difference is rating: Learn & Code at 4.6 against CPU Simulator's 3.6. Learn & Code also leads on ratings volume (125 vs 5) and review sentiment (67% vs 50%). CPU Simulator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn & Code sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. CPU Simulator asks for nothing beyond the download.

Learn & Code holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn & Code has 125 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of CPU Simulator's written reviews are positive against 67% of Learn & Code's.
