Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Capy Notes at none against Be Present's 5. Capy Notes also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.2). Be Present's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
