Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Anytype at 4.5 against PocketOverflow's 2.5. Anytype also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 33%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). PocketOverflow's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
