Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: G at Free against Simplies's $0.99. G also leads on update cadence (every 6 months vs every 27 months) and ratings volume (119 vs 4). Simplies's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
