Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CozyLife Smart holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CozyLife Smart has 171 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Simon iO's written reviews are positive against 15% of CozyLife Smart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Simon iO ships an update every 3 months, CozyLife Smart fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
