Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Daily Notes at none against TodayOne's 3. Daily Notes also leads on ratings volume (144 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). TodayOne's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
