Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Simple to at 5.0 against Planner Pro's 4.5. Simple to also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 76%). Planner Pro's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
