# CCP Custom Control Pad Lite vs SIM

The clearest difference is rating: SIM at 4.6 against CCP Custom Control Pad Lite's 3.9. SIM also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (445 vs 12). CCP Custom Control Pad Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 24) and review sentiment (60% vs 43%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SIM sells 24 one-off in-app purchases. CCP Custom Control Pad Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.

SIM holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SIM has 445 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of CCP Custom Control Pad Lite's written reviews are positive against 43% of SIM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CCP Custom Control Pad Lite ships an update every 2 months, SIM every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
