Simple Alchemy's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (6 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Simple Alchemy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Simple Alchemy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Planet DIY's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
