Verdict

The call

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.
