Verdict
The clearest difference is price: IntuBlade at Free against SimMon's $22.99. IntuBlade also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). SimMon's advantage is chart position (#53 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
