SinkSub costs $1.99 and Transatlantic Ship Sim $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Transatlantic Ship Sim holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SinkSub has 56 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of SinkSub's written reviews are positive against 33% of Transatlantic Ship Sim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SinkSub ships an update every 11 months, Transatlantic Ship Sim every 34 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
