Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Band Session Note at 5.0 against Qithesizer's 4.1. Band Session Note also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and price ($9.99 vs $12.99). Qithesizer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On ads, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
