Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Inkline at 100% against Nostalgia Notes's 50%. Inkline also leads on ads (none vs shown). Nostalgia Notes's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
