Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SIM at 4.6 against PLITCH Companion App's 2.8. SIM also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (473 vs 17). PLITCH Companion App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
