Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: aSim at 4.6 against Plotagon Story's 3.6. aSim also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). Plotagon Story's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 70) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
