Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NS Document Scanner at none against Note!'s 1. NS Document Scanner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Note!'s advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
