# Parse.ly vs SimpleLogin

The clearest difference is rating: SimpleLogin at 4.9 against Parse.ly's 3.9. SimpleLogin also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 7) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). Parse.ly's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SimpleLogin sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Parse.ly asks for nothing beyond the download.

SimpleLogin holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SimpleLogin has 1.3K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Parse.ly's written reviews are positive against 84% of SimpleLogin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Parse.ly ships an update every 4 months, SimpleLogin every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
