Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: メモ帳 at none against Simplest Note's 1. メモ帳 also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 months). Simplest Note's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
