Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: eSign at free with in-app purchases against Notebook's subscription. eSign also leads on ratings volume (55 vs 16). Notebook's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
