Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Simunation at 3.0 against NYU Mobile's 2.4. Simunation also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 15%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). NYU Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
