Verdict

The call

Notee and Otio both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Otio's written reviews are positive against 70% of Notee's. Otio also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Notee's advantage is ratings volume (5K vs 2) and chart position (#67 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
