Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Emotion Builder at none against Find the Note's 1. Emotion Builder also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). Find the Note's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
