Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Harubook at none against DAILY NOTE's 1. Harubook also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). DAILY NOTE's advantage is ratings volume (307 vs 3). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
