Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Google Voice at 4.3 against DisplayNote App's 2.1. Google Voice also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (62K vs 21). DisplayNote App's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 15%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Google Voice holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Voice has 62K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Google Voice's written reviews are positive against 50% of DisplayNote App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Google Voice ships an update weekly, DisplayNote App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
