Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Torn Tools at none against SIM's 24. Torn Tools also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 43%). SIM's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (445 vs 5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SIM sells 24 one-off in-app purchases. Torn Tools asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SIM holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SIM has 445 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of SIM's written reviews are positive against 67% of Torn Tools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SIM ships an update every 2 weeks, Torn Tools every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
