Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mochi at 4.6 against Simply Flashcards's 3.8. Mochi also leads on ratings volume (175 vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.5). Simply Flashcards's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 81%) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mochi holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mochi has 175 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Mochi's written reviews are positive against 100% of Simply Flashcards's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mochi ships an update monthly, Simply Flashcards weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
