Build, simulate and learn about electronic circuits with PROTO circuit simulator
For a "circuit simulator" search, PROTO - circuit simulator wins on clarity: four captioned screenshots name oscilloscope, examples, component values and a diode/transistor palette. ElectroSim: Electrical Wiring counters with a benefit headline, "Practice Electrical Wiring", and "Practice Anytime Offline", but its 1st screenshot carries a ★★★★★ 4.5 rating overlay that Play policy disallows.

Only the first 4 screenshots from each side are sent to the AI. These are what users see in App Store and Google Play search results, so they carry most of the conversion weight.

App B
Value Proposition
A leadsElectroSim: Electrical Wiring's 1st screenshot states the payoff outright: "Practice Electrical Wiring", "Anytime, Anywhere", reinforced by "Practice Anytime Offline".
PROTO - circuit simulator's title matches the query exactly, but captions like "Signal Analysis In Oscilloscope" state capabilities, never why they matter.
Clarity
B leadsElectroSim: Electrical Wiring's 2nd screenshot has no caption, and the hand-held phone angle shrinks the contactor-and-motor canvas below readable size.
PROTO - circuit simulator captions each function against real UI: waveform traces, an examples list naming Darlington/Ohm/Opamp, a 33 kΩ knob, diode/transistor palette.
Emotional Hook
A leadsElectroSim: Electrical Wiring's 1st screenshot pairs "Anytime, Anywhere" with a hand holding the phone, an outcome line without a real apprentice-at-work scene.
PROTO - circuit simulator's four captions all name capabilities, "Many Components To Use", "Modify Component's Values", over dark raw UI with no user context.
Trust Signals
TiedThe "4.5" star row and laurel wreaths on ElectroSim: Electrical Wiring's 1st screenshot imitate Play's own rating UI, which Play guidelines reject.
PROTO - circuit simulator shows no testimonial, award or compliance cue; the GitHub issue-reporting note sits only in the description text.
Reviews of ElectroSim: Electrical Wiring cluster heavily around subscription and trial billing, with repeated reports of being charged after starting a free trial and of refunds not arriving, alongside requests for missing parts such as relays and three-phase contactors; the positive reviews consistently credit it for teaching wiring connections and for feeling realistic. Reviews of PROTO - circuit simulator centre on missing components (CPUs, specific ICs, diac/triac, ESP32) and on friction when editing circuits, plus a smaller group reporting purchased add-on packs showing as owned but not unlocking. PROTO - circuit simulator is praised for matching real tools like LTspice and for being approachable to beginners, while ElectroSim: Electrical Wiring is praised for being straightforward and user friendly.

LowPROTO - circuit simulator claims the electronics-bench position, opening on "tools like Multisim, SPICE, LTspice, Proteus, Altium" and selling instrument parity (four-channel oscilloscope, voltages and currents in real time). ElectroSim: Electrical Wiring claims the trade-training position, selling panel wiring practice, guided narrated circuits, and vocational or TVET use. Both sit under the same "circuit simulator" query but answer different jobs: one simulates electronics for makers, the other rehearses wiring for electricians.
App A
Positioning
Electrical trade training simulator
Target audience
Apprentices, electricians, vocational instructors, and self-taught learners
Value promise
Practice real panel wiring safely on a phone before touching live work
Tone
instructional, practitioner-facing, calm
App B
Positioning
Desktop-grade electronics bench
Target audience
Hobbyists and students building Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi circuits
Value promise
Real-time simulation with oscilloscope readouts, like desktop SPICE tools
Tone
feature-focused, technical, enthusiast
Gap
ElectroSim: Electrical Wiring leads with trade practice (panels, terminals, apprentices, TVET labs), while PROTO - circuit simulator leads with instrument parity (SPICE-class simulation, four-channel oscilloscope, Arduino and ESP32 projects).
Opportunity
Anyone searching "circuit simulator" with a wiring or licensing job in mind currently sees electronics-bench copy, so ElectroSim: Electrical Wiring can claim the mains and panel side of the query outright rather than compete on simulation fidelity.
Risk
The word "simulator" in the query sets an expectation of measurable instrumentation, and ElectroSim: Electrical Wiring never names what the simulation actually shows (voltage, current, continuity, fault state), so technically minded searchers may read it as a tutorial player rather than a working simulator and skip the install.
Strategic advantage
The narrated public expert circuits with step-by-step playback give ElectroSim: Electrical Wiring a teaching asset PROTO - circuit simulator does not claim, which speaks directly to instructors choosing a lab tool and to apprentices who need to watch a correct wiring sequence before repeating it.
Missed opportunity
Neither listing claims code compliance or fault diagnosis as its reason to exist: no mention of wiring standards, inspection readiness, or licensing exam preparation, which is the buying motive for an apprentice facing a certification test.

PROTO - circuit simulator
Slight lead
PROTO - circuit simulator holds rank 1 for circuit simulator with the phrase in its title and instrument-level screenshots behind it, while ElectroSim: Electrical Wiring sits at 21 with that phrase absent from both its title and short description. The overall race is closer than the rank gap suggests, and what separates them here is keyword fit rather than product depth.
Why it wins
PROTO - circuit simulator matches the query exactly and backs it with captioned shots naming an oscilloscope, component values and a diode palette, so intent and evidence line up on the same page. Its recent reviews read mostly as requests for missing components, while ElectroSim: Electrical Wiring carries repeated trial and billing complaints that undercut trust at the install decision.
Biggest opportunity
ElectroSim: Electrical Wiring owns a trade-training position PROTO - circuit simulator never claims, narrated expert circuits for apprentices and TVET labs, but none of it reaches circuit simulator searchers because the phrase appears in neither the title nor the short description.
Next priority
Test a short description that opens on circuit simulator and names what the simulation actually shows, for example "Circuit simulator for electrical wiring: build, test and see live voltages." (75 characters). Clearing the star rating overlay from the first screenshot removes a Play policy exposure at the same time.
