Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ZenSim at 80% against My Optus's 22%. My Optus's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Optus holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Optus has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of My Optus's written reviews are positive against 80% of ZenSim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Optus ships an update every 3 weeks, ZenSim fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
