# The Alpha vs Real Wolf Simulator

The Alpha and Real Wolf Simulator both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of The Alpha's written reviews are positive against 24% of Real Wolf Simulator's. The Alpha also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Real Wolf Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (814 vs 49).

Both are free to download. The Alpha sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Real Wolf Simulator sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.0 for The Alpha against 4.0 for Real Wolf Simulator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Real Wolf Simulator has 814 ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of The Alpha's written reviews are positive against 24% of Real Wolf Simulator's.
