# SIM vs Zouch

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: SIM at 15.0 against Zouch's 17.0. On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SIM sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Zouch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
