Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: كناشة at none against SimpleMind's 1. كناشة also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). SimpleMind's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 44%) and ratings volume (982 vs 18). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
