Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SimplyRead at 5.0 against PickerFull's 3.6. SimplyRead also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). PickerFull's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
