Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SmartFolder at 4.7 against Simple Phone's 3.7. SmartFolder also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 3) and chart position (#140 vs unranked). Simple Phone's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
