Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Noteback at none against Memo's shown. Noteback also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 7 months). Memo's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
