Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ReWords at 5.0 against Spelling Notebook's 4.6. ReWords also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). Spelling Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
