footnotes is a quiet notebook for the photographs, voices, passing thoughts, ideas, and ordinary moments that make up a life. you can: - capture the full texture of a moment: in words, photos, video, and voice, all together. - return to old notes, add new moments, and watch a timeline of your life slowly take shape. - make notebooks for different parts of your life, and - turn moments into little stories to share. slices of light sizzling on a wall. laughter of friends sloppy and gold. the loosey goosey fragments. all of which you look back on with tenderness, kept whole. footnotes makes space for the footnotes of a life. the little things that become the story of who you are.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: footnotes at none against Megic's 1. footnotes also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 11 days). Megic's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
