Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: DayCue at every 2 days against Notes, To's every 6 weeks. DayCue also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Notes, To's advantage is ratings volume (111 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
