Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BBQE at 5.0 against SimpNote Lite's 4.4. BBQE also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). SimpNote Lite's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (73 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SimpNote Lite sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and BBQE sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BBQE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SimpNote Lite has 73 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of SimpNote Lite's written reviews are positive against 100% of BBQE's.
SimpNote Lite ships an update every 6 weeks, BBQE every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
