Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Simple Practice at 100% against PESI's 14%. Simple Practice also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). PESI's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PESI sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Simple Practice asks for nothing beyond the download.
Simple Practice holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.

Written reviews point the same way: 14% of PESI's written reviews are positive against 100% of Simple Practice's.
PESI ships an update fortnightly, Simple Practice every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
