Truly Simple Inventory was built to help you track the things you own. Whether you’re a homeowner documenting belongings for insurance purposes, a renter keeping track of personal gear, a collector bringing order to your hoard, or just someone trying to remember all those serial numbers and warranty dates, this app gives you a reliable, easy-to-use record of your possessions. It's designed to be calm, practical, and highly functional. You can easily record where each item is kept in your house, what it cost, its serial number, and safely store photos of receipts and PDFs of user manuals. There's a one-time, lifetime in-app purchase that allows for an unlimited number of items and unlocks the export tools, but you can add up to 10 items and use all the core features for free, forever. Features: • Organize items by location (Living Room, Garage, Office, etc.) and drag them between rooms. • Full item records: easily log name, make, model, serial number, and purchase price. • Attach photos of the item, along with its receipt and user manual. • Set warranty expiration dates and get automatic alerts before they run out. • Maintenance logs: track service history, dates, costs, and notes (great for appliance repairs or oil changes). • Generate an "Insurance Report" export—a clean PDF grouped by location specifically designed for home insurance claims (CSV and general PDF exports also available). • Use your camera to automatically scan and read serial numbers. • Data syncs automatically across all your Apple devices via iCloud.

A great gift idea rarely arrives when you need it. Giftfolio gives it a place to stay until the right moment. Save an idea for a particular person, keep their sizes and interests handy, and remember what you gave last time. Organize birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, thank-you gifts and everyday surprises without starting over each season. • Save gift ideas with a person, occasion, price estimate and your own link notes. • Keep sizes, interests, favorite colors and things to avoid in people profiles. • Track gifts given and received with unlimited history. • Set local reminders for planning and follow-up; delivery depends on iOS settings. • Create an encrypted backup through Files and restore it with your backup password. Free includes 10 people, 30 ideas, 10 active reminders, unlimited history and backup/restore. Optional Monthly or Yearly Premium removes the first three limits. Localized prices are shown before purchase. Existing Lifetime purchases remain supported; Lifetime is not available for new purchases. No account is required. Gift records stay local unless you choose to export a backup. There is no SHG cloud sync, merchant checkout or price comparison. Keep a backup copy off your device and its password safe—SHG cannot recover it. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Truly Simple Inventory at 3 against Giftfolio's 1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
