Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Simple Notch at 4.6 against 手心输入法's 3.8. Simple Notch also leads on ratings volume (426 vs 18). 手心输入法's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (70% vs 59%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Simple Notch sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 手心输入法 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Simple Notch holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Notch has 426 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Simple Notch's written reviews are positive against 70% of 手心输入法's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Simple Notch ships an update every 11 days, 手心输入法 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
