Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SimplyDose at none against Next Shot's shown. SimplyDose also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Next Shot's advantage is ratings volume (49 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
