Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SIM at 4.6 against MV Remote's 1.0. SIM also leads on ratings volume (477 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SIM sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and MV Remote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SIM holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SIM has 477 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
SIM ships an update every 2 weeks, MV Remote every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
