Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GrapNote at none against Easy Notes Lite's 3. GrapNote also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). Easy Notes Lite's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
