Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: G at Free against Simplies's $0.99. G also leads on ratings volume (147 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Simplies's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
