Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lucid Note at none against Dance Formation Maker & Choreo's 1. Dance Formation Maker & Choreo's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
