# Engine Sim vs Simulation Moteur

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Engine Sim at 1.2K against Simulation Moteur's 10. Simulation Moteur's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 83%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Engine Sim sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Simulation Moteur sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Engine Sim against 4.7 for Simulation Moteur. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Engine Sim has 1.2K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two.
