Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Paint Gallery at Free against Notepad's $6.99. Paint Gallery also leads on ratings volume (69 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Notepad's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
