Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Parcel at Free against jigNOTES's $4.99. Parcel also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#23 vs #125). jigNOTES's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 18.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
