Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Gemini Notebook at none against AI Notebook's shown. Gemini Notebook also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 46%) and ratings volume (64K vs 193). AI Notebook's advantage is device support (5 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
