Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Notebook at 4.6 against Notes+'s 3.7. Notebook also leads on ratings volume (122 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). Notes+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
