The new OneSimCard IoT-M2M app enables you to get access to the most important functions of the OneSimCard OSCAR management platform virtually anywhere you have connectivity on your mobile device or tablet. Whether your solution is for GPS (asset tracking, fleet management, people tracking, etc.), wearables, Smart meters/Smart City, Smart Home or any other Internet of Things/Machine to Machine application, the OSCAR (OneSimCard Account Resource) app allows you to easily manage all of your mobile IoT/M2M devices. The OSCAR IOT app provides you with real time information about all active, blocked or deactivated devices, network registration/connectivity status, and the current data and SMS use records. It also allows you to reconnect the device to the network if required, as well as 2-way communication to the device using Portal SMS option, which keeps logs of all sent commands to, and replies from, the device including the APN settings. The app allows you to have access to each sim card /device, set the monthly spending limit for the SIM, block/unblock mobile data, view the amount of data used in the billing cycle anywhere, anytime your mobile device is connected to the internet.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 1SIM IoT at none against Fing's 7. 1SIM IoT also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 weeks). Fing's advantage is ratings volume (117K vs 1) and chart position (#174 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fing sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 3 months. 1SIM IoT asks for nothing beyond the download.
1SIM IoT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fing has 117K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Fing ships an update every 4 weeks, 1SIM IoT daily. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
