Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SIMPL at 4.1 against SVS iPG's 3.6. SIMPL also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 5). SVS iPG's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 40%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SIMPL holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of SVS iPG's written reviews are positive against 40% of SIMPL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SVS iPG ships an update every 2 months, SIMPL every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 3, 2026 respectively.
