Yup. I worked at both. Allegiant Training (at least Sim training) is very thorough.
You’ll do 10 SITS which are in touch screen trainers. You’ll fly flights and practice shooting approaches and setting up the FMS (all while doing your flows and call outs).
Then you go into the Simulator and have 7-8 sims before your checkride.
Spirit is now 8 SITS, 4 FTDs (a full sim, but doesn’t move) and 5 Full Motion Sims - then your ride.
