Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Hold'em Odds Simulator at Free against PokerCruncher's $12.99. Hold'em Odds Simulator also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). PokerCruncher's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PokerCruncher holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PokerCruncher has 253 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of PokerCruncher's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hold'em Odds Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PokerCruncher ships an update every 2 months, Hold'em Odds Simulator every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
