# Deep Whois vs SIM Card Status Checker

The clearest difference is update cadence: SIM Card Status Checker at monthly against Deep Whois's every 4 months. SIM Card Status Checker also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (912 vs 172). Deep Whois's advantage is iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Deep Whois sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and SIM Card Status Checker sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SIM Card Status Checker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SIM Card Status Checker has 912 ratings behind it against 172, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Deep Whois's written reviews are positive against 81% of SIM Card Status Checker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Deep Whois ships an update every 4 months, SIM Card Status Checker monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
