Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Padlet at 4.7 against DisplayNote App's 2.1. Padlet also leads on ratings volume (6.7K vs 21) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). DisplayNote App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
