Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Setlists! at none against GigNotes's 5. Setlists! also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). GigNotes's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
