# SimLink vs AI Friend

The clearest difference is rating: AI Friend at 4.5 against SimLink's 2.4. AI Friend also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 8). SimLink's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AI Friend sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. SimLink asks for nothing beyond the download.

AI Friend holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Friend has 3.2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of SimLink's written reviews are positive against 28% of AI Friend's.
