Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MyNotebook at none against DropIn's 1. MyNotebook also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (43 vs 4). DropIn's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
