Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SimpNote at 72% against 微唱's 11%. SimpNote also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (74 vs 6). 微唱's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
