# Cliff Diving Champ vs Ship Simulator

The clearest difference is price: Ship Simulator at Free against Cliff Diving Champ's $0.99. Ship Simulator also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 9). Cliff Diving Champ's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Ship Simulator is free to download; Cliff Diving Champ costs $0.99 up front. Cliff Diving Champ sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Ship Simulator sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cliff Diving Champ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ship Simulator has 13K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Cliff Diving Champ's written reviews are positive against 49% of Ship Simulator's.

Cliff Diving Champ ships an update every 8 months, Ship Simulator every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
