Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Be a Referee at none against Soccer Life Simulator's 18. Be a Referee also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 36%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.5). Soccer Life Simulator's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Soccer Life Simulator sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Be a Referee asks for nothing beyond the download.
Soccer Life Simulator holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Soccer Life Simulator has 61 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Soccer Life Simulator's written reviews are positive against 60% of Be a Referee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Soccer Life Simulator ships an update every 6 days, Be a Referee every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
