Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Amion at 5.6K against SIMPL's 16. Amion also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.1). SIMPL's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 24%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Amion holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amion has 5.6K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Amion's written reviews are positive against 40% of SIMPL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Amion ships an update every 3 weeks, SIMPL every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
