Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BoostyLink at none against SIMO's 2. BoostyLink also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). SIMO's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
