Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Write Memo at none against QuickNote's 3. Write Memo also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). QuickNote's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
