# Auto vs Tuning Simulator

The clearest difference is ads: Tuning Simulator at none against Auto's shown. Tuning Simulator also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 1) and chart position (#130 vs unranked). Auto's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Auto sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Tuning Simulator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Auto holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tuning Simulator has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Auto ships an update every 3 days, Tuning Simulator every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
