Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: elsewhere at none against TikNote's shown. elsewhere also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). TikNote's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
