Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Note Sight at none against Notevision's 1. Note Sight also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Notevision's advantage is ratings volume (3.2K vs 8). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
