Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PatchMemo GX at Free against Track Notes's $1.99. PatchMemo GX also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Track Notes's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On ads there is nothing between them.
