Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Notebook at 71% against Good Templates's 0%. Notebook also leads on rating (4.3 vs 1.8) and ratings volume (523 vs 4). Good Templates's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
