The clearest difference is rating: PaySimple at 4.5 against ProVia's 3.6. PaySimple also leads on device support (3 vs 1). ProVia's advantage is ratings volume (36 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PaySimple holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProVia has 36 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of ProVia's written reviews are positive against 14% of PaySimple's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ProVia ships an update every 6 weeks, PaySimple every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
