All core features are free. Clover Pro (one-time purchase or subscription): multiple servers, unlimited AI chats, alternate icons, home and lock screen widgets (today's journal, continue reading, quick capture), and Spotlight search. No ads. No server yet? Start with the built-in Local Vault and upload everything with one tap once you connect a Trilium server.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Clover at none against Triquid Notes's 1. Clover also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Triquid Notes's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
