# Magnates vs Car Dealership Tycoon Sim

The clearest difference is rating: Magnates at 5.0 against Car Dealership Tycoon Sim's 4.1. Magnates also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 89%). Car Dealership Tycoon Sim's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (21 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magnates sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Car Dealership Tycoon Sim sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
