Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My Residency at 4.5 against SIMPL's 4.1. My Residency also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). SIMPL's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
