Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Obsidian at none against RecallaMemo's 1. Obsidian also leads on chart position (#119 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). RecallaMemo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
