Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NotePlan at 4.8 against Amigurumi World's 3.6. NotePlan also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 48%) and ads (none vs shown). Amigurumi World's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs subscription) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
