Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SoundStorming at none against Dubnote's 6. SoundStorming also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.3). Dubnote's advantage is ratings volume (163 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
