Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RecallNote at none against LearnBack's 3. RecallNote also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). LearnBack's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
