Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Scratchpad at none against Whiteboard's shown. Scratchpad also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 30%) and ratings volume (53 vs 3). Whiteboard's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Whiteboard holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scratchpad has 53 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Whiteboard's written reviews are positive against 50% of Scratchpad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
