# Simple Scale vs Weightage

The clearest difference is rating: Weightage at 5.0 against Simple Scale's 4.3. Weightage also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). Simple Scale's advantage is ratings volume (236 vs 1) and review sentiment (59% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Weightage holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Scale has 236 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Simple Scale's written reviews are positive against 50% of Weightage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Simple Scale ships an update monthly, Weightage every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on August 7, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
