Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Qards at none against Noble Notes's 1. Qards also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (14 vs 3). Noble Notes's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
