Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Forward Bank holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forward Bank has 826 ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Simplicity Credit Union Mobile's written reviews are positive against 40% of Forward Bank's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Simplicity Credit Union Mobile ships an update every 4 months, Forward Bank every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
