Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Miele app at 4.1 against Simon iO's 1.0. Miele app also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Miele app holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Miele app has 3.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Miele app's written reviews are positive against 29% of Simon iO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Miele app ships an update every 2 months, Simon iO every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
