Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MDViewer at 100% against Jupyter Notebook's 40%. MDViewer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Jupyter Notebook's advantage is chart position (#41 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
