Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Valeport Connect at none against Simple Solar's 4. Valeport Connect also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.6). Simple Solar's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
