Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Swim Note at 4.7 against SWim's 1.0. Swim Note also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). SWim's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
