Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: NoteFall at daily against Know Notes's fortnightly. NoteFall also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Know Notes's advantage is ratings volume (32 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
