Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Be The President at 4.8 against Democracy Simulator's 3.5. Be The President also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 62%) and ratings volume (167 vs 28). Democracy Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
