Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: H at none against Retro Desktop Notes's 1. H also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Retro Desktop Notes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
