Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Listic at none against Simple List App's shown. Listic also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and device support (4 vs 2). Simple List App's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (399 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
