Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bookmax at none against Smart Note Notepad's 1. Bookmax also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). Smart Note Notepad's advantage is iOS requirement (14.1 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
