Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StudentsNotes at none against Glow Board's 1. StudentsNotes also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Glow Board's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 20 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
