# #Phone vs 2sim

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 2sim at 83% against #Phone's 0%. 2sim also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). #Phone's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. #Phone sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and 2sim sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

#Phone holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: #Phone has 186 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of #Phone's written reviews are positive against 83% of 2sim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
