Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Take Notes at 4.6 against Grafika's 2.5. Take Notes also leads on ratings volume (72 vs 2) and review sentiment (83% vs 67%). Grafika's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
