Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Simply Conserve at 4.7 against BN's 2.3. Simply Conserve also leads on ratings volume (707 vs 37). BN's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
