# Demagogue vs President Simulator

Demagogue and President Simulator both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 93% of Demagogue's written reviews are positive against 14% of President Simulator's. Demagogue also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). President Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (529 vs 5) and chart position (#76 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Demagogue sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and President Simulator sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Demagogue holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: President Simulator has 529 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of Demagogue's written reviews are positive against 14% of President Simulator's.

Demagogue ships an update every 6 days, President Simulator every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
