Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SIMO at 4.8 against Lubn's 3.3. SIMO also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 7) and review sentiment (57% vs 33%). Lubn's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
