Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Short links maker at none against Simple URL's 1. Short links maker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Simple URL's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
