The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: E at none against Notes and Folders's 1. E also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Notes and Folders's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
