Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SIMO at 4.8 against Free.Mobile's 2.7. SIMO also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 25%) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 6). Free.Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
