Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MindPad at none against v.ioNote's shown. MindPad also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 23 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). v.ioNote's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
