Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Notelet at none against Teach Note's shown. Notelet also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Teach Note's advantage is ratings volume (196 vs 11). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
