Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Maya at 89% against Seekers Notes's 60%. Maya also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Seekers Notes's advantage is ratings volume (95K vs 1.9K) and chart position (#28 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
