Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DAILY NOTE at 4.6 against Haema Diary's 4.1. DAILY NOTE also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 73%) and ratings volume (307 vs 52). Haema Diary's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
