Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Quick Notes at none against ShiftLog Pro's shown. Quick Notes also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months) and device support (5 vs 3). ShiftLog Pro's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
