The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Handwritten note at none against SkyNotes's 3. Handwritten note also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). SkyNotes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
