Unlike traditional free-form notes, you can use form items—such as text fields, labels, and images—to build flexible, well-organized memo templates. You can also use Canvas to freely place, resize, and rotate controls in a fixed area, making it easy to create freer layouts like layered text and images.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Form Memos at none against Reminders's shown. Reminders's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
