The call

The clearest difference is price: DR at Free against SimpleDB's $1.99. DR also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 48 months) and iOS requirement (15.3 vs 17.6). SimpleDB's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
