Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: CaseNote at free against Focus Dial's paid. CaseNote also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Focus Dial's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
