Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Capacities at 58% against GitWriter's 0%. Capacities also leads on rating (4.3 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). GitWriter's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
