Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Digitize Signature at 100% against Audio Memos's 62%. Digitize Signature also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). Audio Memos's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 21 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
