Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Melodaddy at none against Find the Note's 1. Melodaddy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Find the Note's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
