FIND ANY PAGE Search for a word you wrote and Notes Index highlights exactly where it appears on the page. BROWSE LIKE PAPER Pinch through your library from a full-width page down to a dense grid. On iPad, open two pages side by side, like an open notebook. MARK IT UP Write on your pages with Apple Pencil or your finger, and recrop a page any time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no ads. Text recognition happens on your device. Turn on iCloud sync to keep your library on all your devices, stored in your own iCloud account. Export your images and text whenever you like.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Notes Index at none against Tratto's 2. Tratto's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
