Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SMemo at none against DAILY NOTE's 1. SMemo also leads on ads (none vs shown). DAILY NOTE's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
