I am pretty sure this simulator doesn't reinvest dividends.

I think it is an ad for an app doesn't reinvest dividends either.

That was my guess too. It can skew the result quite a bit depending which stock you are looking at. Eg BNS historically hands out 2-3% per year in dividends, and that’s just one randomly chosen “high yield” stock.
