Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bloomnote at 83% against Recall's 40%. Bloomnote also leads on rating (4.3 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (22 vs 3). Recall's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Recall sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Bloomnote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bloomnote holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bloomnote has 22 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of Recall's written reviews are positive against 83% of Bloomnote's.
Recall ships an update daily, Bloomnote weekly. Both last shipped on June 4, 2026.
