FEATURES - Large canvas โ pan and zoom freely across a grid canvas - Place notes anywhere โ long press anywhere on the canvas to drop a note - Rich notes โ add a title, body text, color, images, videos, and PDF attachments - Pin notes โ lock important notes in place so they don't move while you pan - Search โ find any note instantly by title or content - Export & import โ back up all your notes as a single JSON file - Fully offline โ everything stays on your device, nothing is sent anywhere DESIGNED FOR FOCUS No accounts.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Grid Notes App at none against Stash's 3. Grid Notes App also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
