Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SimpleSign at 100% against Vimeo's 49%. SimpleSign also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). Vimeo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
