The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Planner at none against Review Notebook 2's 1. Planner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Review Notebook 2's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
