# Fight the Fire vs Fire Engine Simulator

The clearest difference is rating: Fire Engine Simulator at 4.7 against Fight the Fire's 3.9. Fire Engine Simulator also leads on ratings volume (4.9K vs 17) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). Fight the Fire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 11.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fight the Fire sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Fire Engine Simulator sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fire Engine Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fire Engine Simulator has 4.9K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Fight the Fire's written reviews are positive against 92% of Fire Engine Simulator's.

Fight the Fire ships an update every 7 months, Fire Engine Simulator every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
