niiは、1人時間のブラウジングに「保存」と「区切り」をつくるブラウザです。 気になったページはokiniiへ。 あとで見たいページはnextniiへ。 見終わったページはfiniishとして記録。 niiでは、検索して、ページを開いて、保存して、見終わるまでの流れをjourniiとしてあとから見返せます。 ただURLを残すだけではなく、どんな流れでそのページにたどり着いたのか、いつ見終わったのかまで、自分のために整理できます。 タブを溜め続けたくないとき。 ブックマークを見返しやすくしたいとき。 気になったURLをワンタップで保存したいとき。 niiは、閲覧履歴をもっと活かすためのプライベートなブラウザです。 個別のfiniish削除やアプリ内データ削除にも対応しています。 Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: nii. at none against Simple URL's 1. nii. also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Simple URL's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
