Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Birdie care at 55% against Badger Notes's 6%. Birdie care also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). Badger Notes's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (212 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Badger Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Badger Notes has 212 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Badger Notes's written reviews are positive against 55% of Birdie care's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Badger Notes ships an update every 2 months, Birdie care every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
