Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: v.ioNote at none against Similar Basic's 1. v.ioNote also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Similar Basic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 23 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
