Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Memorize at none against Anote's shown. Memorize also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Anote's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
