Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lectionarium at 53% against QNote's 0%. Lectionarium also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). QNote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
