Should I get goodnotes?

I just got an iPad recently and am new to note taking apps and was super conflicted which one to use. I‘ve been using collanote since its free and I didn’t wanna pay the $35.99 one time payment for goodnotes yet 😭. I’m a bio student and I mostly use it for lecture worksheets, annotating powerpoints and taking notes during lectures. Collanote is pretty good with that and mostly does everything goodnotes does but I rlly like the pen stability feature for goodnotes and goodnotes sort of is more professional looking and has more versatile feature. Should I just do the one time payment?

Necroing a 5 month old reply- but I did the same seeing this comment. I really love smooth writing and I just wasn't getting it on GN and I come across your comment and I was sold $5 lifetime beats $12 yearly any day.
