Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MinuteMind at none against Gemini Notebook's 26. MinuteMind also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Gemini Notebook's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
