Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Quick Notes at 295 against Objets's 2. Quick Notes also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (5 vs 1). Objets's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
