Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PhotInfo at 83% against PhotoNotes's 30%. PhotInfo also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). PhotoNotes's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
