The clearest difference is review sentiment: Notito at 100% against Whiteboard's 43%. Notito also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). Whiteboard's advantage is ratings volume (465 vs 10) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Whiteboard sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Notito asks for nothing beyond the download.
