IN Forex is a live rate board for India. Gold and silver by the ounce and the gram, 130 world currencies, and every single number quoted in Indian rupees. LIVE RATES Gold, silver, platinum and palladium, priced per troy ounce and per gram, followed by 130 currencies β from the US dollar and the dirham to the riyal, the ringgit and the taka. Rates refresh about once a minute while the app is open, and a number that has moved rolls over like an odometer and takes a green or red tint, so you can see the market change rather than guess at it. CONVERT Any pair of the 130, cross-rated through the rupee. One side holds the amount you typed; the other keeps moving with the market. Come back to it later and your amount is still there. ESTIMATE A PIECE OF GOLD The screen an Indian buyer actually needs. Enter a weight β grams, 10 g, pavan or tola β pick a purity (24K, 22K, 18K, 14K, or type any hallmark fineness like 916 or 750), add the making charge, and it prices the metal at the live rate and adds making and GST. Run it the other way and it answers the harder question. Give it the total a jeweller quoted, and it backs out the GST and tells you what making charge is hiding inside that number. RE-BASE THE BOARD Tap any currency and the whole board is re-quoted in it. Tap any metal and it is priced in every currency at once. MADE YOURS Reorder the board by dragging, and hide anything you never look at. Your order and your rupee amounts stay on your phone β there is no account, no sign-up and no password. WHAT IT ISN'T These are indicative mid-market rates. They are not a dealer's buying or selling price and they are not a quote, and neither the rate board nor the jewellery estimate should be used to settle a transaction. Check the hallmark and the shop's own bill before you buy. IN Forex is free and supported by ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IN Forex at none against SimpleSpend's 2. IN Forex also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). SimpleSpend's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
