The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Abjad日本語 at none against Senryu Note's 1. Abjad日本語 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). Senryu Note's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
