Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Tally Notes at Free against XML's $49.99. Tally Notes also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 41 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). XML's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
