Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Markdown Note Widgets at every 5 days against Wikist's every 11 months. Markdown Note Widgets also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). Wikist's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
