Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: eRecordStudio at 100% against Dubnote's 65%. eRecordStudio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.3). Dubnote's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (164 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
