# Simple vs Meiiwo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Meiiwo at 100% against Simple's 57%. Simple's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple sells 24 one-off in-app purchases and Meiiwo sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simple holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Simple's written reviews are positive against 100% of Meiiwo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
