Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Next Time Notes at none against Simple List App's shown. Next Time Notes also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Simple List App's advantage is ratings volume (396 vs 4) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple List App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and Next Time Notes sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Next Time Notes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple List App has 396 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
