Deer is a structured note-taking app. "Freely Reorder Notes" Beyond basic functions, each line in the note can be freely dragged and moved using keyboard shortcuts. You can quickly adjust the order of text in your note. “One-Click to Outline" For clearer organization of your note, you can convert them to an outline with one click. Editing text in the outline provides a clearer view of the structure. Drag and drop is also supported in outline mode, but you drag an entire paragraph. “One-Click to Mind Map" If you find the outline mode still not clear enough, you can convert it to a mind map with one click. In this ultimate mode, the disorganized information in your note becomes crystal clear. This will help you organize newly learned knowledge points or complex theoretical concepts.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Deer at none against NoteDive's shown. Deer also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
