Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CoHub at none against UltraNotes's 1. CoHub also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). UltraNotes's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (187 vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
