The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nemonic Scanner at none against Plaud's 18. Nemonic Scanner also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). Plaud's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
