Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: YarnWiz at 5.0 against Knitandnote's 3.9. YarnWiz also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). Knitandnote's advantage is ratings volume (190 vs 5) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
