The clearest difference is ratings volume: Notebook at 24K against Bookmark URL Saver's 57. Notebook also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). Bookmark URL Saver's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 65%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notebook sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Bookmark URL Saver sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
