Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: NoteIt at Free against RAW Cam's $11.99. NoteIt also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). RAW Cam's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (23 vs 1). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
