Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Simpleplus at none against Pley's shown. Simpleplus also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 92) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Pley's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
