Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Forgetproof at none against Simple List App's shown. Forgetproof also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Simple List App's advantage is ratings volume (396 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
