VoltSim is a realtime electronic circuit simulator like Multisim, SPICE, LTspice, Altium or Proto for circuit design with a better user experience. VoltSim is a complete circuit app in which you can design circuits with various components and simulate an electric or digital circuit. During simulation you can check voltage, current and many other variables. Check signals on multichannel oscilloscope or multimeter and tune your circuit in real time! You can also use VoltSim as logic circuit simulator and perform digital electronic analysis! This app will help you visualize how the voltage varies across the circuit and how current flows through it. T&C: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: AC Circuit Analyzer at free against Circuit Simulator's free with in-app purchases. AC Circuit Analyzer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Circuit Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (72 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AC Circuit Analyzer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Circuit Simulator sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AC Circuit Analyzer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Circuit Simulator has 72 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
AC Circuit Analyzer ships an update fortnightly, Circuit Simulator every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
