Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Bitmap Bay costs $0.99 and Sys Admin Sim $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bitmap Bay holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bitmap Bay has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Bitmap Bay's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sys Admin Sim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
