The clearest difference is rating: Simplifi Scout at 5.0 against Tommy's Express's 4.4. Simplifi Scout also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Tommy's Express's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (28% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Simplifi Scout holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tommy's Express has 2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Tommy's Express's written reviews are positive against 0% of Simplifi Scout's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
