Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: QR at none against Fast Notes's shown. QR also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Fast Notes's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
