Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TabPad at 4.0 against NOTE'd's 3.3. TabPad also leads on device support (4 vs 2). NOTE'd's advantage is ratings volume (354 vs 4) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
