The clearest difference is rating: CamNote at 5.0 against Text Capture's 4.0. CamNote also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 months). Text Capture's advantage is ratings volume (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
