Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Simply Conserve at 4.7 against EcoSmart Mobile's 2.3. Simply Conserve also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 0%) and ratings volume (706 vs 7). EcoSmart Mobile's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
