Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My Trados at 4.3 against EndNote's 2.6. My Trados also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). EndNote's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 32 months) and ratings volume (165 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
