# Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player vs VR Player

The clearest difference is rating: Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player at 4.4 against VR Player's 1.9. Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (150 vs 8). VR Player's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and VR Player sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player has 150 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player's written reviews are positive against 50% of VR Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player ships an update every 5 days, VR Player every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
