# Plug vs Sys Admin Sim

The clearest difference is price: Plug at Free against Sys Admin Sim's $0.99. Plug also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 1). Sys Admin Sim's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 17) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Plug is free to download; Sys Admin Sim costs $0.99 up front. Plug sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Sys Admin Sim asks for nothing beyond the download.

Plug holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plug has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Plug'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.
