Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Qards at none against Speaker Notes's 3. Qards also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.5). Speaker Notes's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Speaker Notes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Qards has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Qards ships an update every 4 months, Speaker Notes monthly. Both last shipped on October 9, 2026.
