Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Perxcept at 100% against SIMO's 57%. Perxcept also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). SIMO's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SIMO holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SIMO has 3.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of SIMO's written reviews are positive against 100% of Perxcept's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
