You are the new president of YOUR CORP. Your mission: total market domination. Start in the humble Potato market and work your way up through 24 increasingly cutthroat industries -- from Cupcakes to Consulting, from Hot Dogs to Real Estate, from Bubble Tea to Airlines. HOW IT WORKS Each market is a grid of businesses. Buy neighboring shops to expand your territory. The more you own, the more revenue you earn each turn. But you only get 5 purchases per round, so spend them wisely. Your competitors aren't sitting around. They're expanding too, buying up territory and eyeing yours. HOSTILE TAKEOVERS Every competitor has core businesses -- marked with white dots. Acquire more than half of them, and your lawyers handle the rest. Their entire empire folds into yours, along with their war chest. ANTITRUST CLAIMS Think a rival is getting too big? File an antitrust claim. They'll lose up to 70% of their territory. But be careful -- they can file against you too. Once all competitors are eliminated, the EXPANDING phase begins. Buy out every last independent business on the map. If you can afford it, you win. The more coins you have left over, the higher your star rating. FEATURES Turn-based strategy on a 3D grid 24 levels of increasing difficulty Hostile takeover mechanics Antitrust claim system Revenue and territory management 120 unique satirical competitors Star ratings based on efficiency No ads. No in-app purchases. Just strategy. Can you dominate every market without going bankrupt?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Antitrust at none against Startup Simulator's shown. Startup Simulator's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
