Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SamaraBusiness at none against SimplyGo's shown. SamaraBusiness also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). SimplyGo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
