Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Timestripe at none against Danger Notes's shown. Timestripe also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Danger Notes's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
