Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Notchless at Free against GenZD's $2.99. Notchless also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). GenZD's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
