Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GiveGift at none against JotNotes's 1. GiveGift also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.2). JotNotes's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
