# RetireWhen vs RetirementPlannerSimulator

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RetireWhen at none against RetirementPlannerSimulator's 1. RetireWhen also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). RetirementPlannerSimulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RetirementPlannerSimulator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. RetireWhen asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for RetireWhen against 5.0 for RetirementPlannerSimulator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RetireWhen has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
