# Map Note vs Notion Calendar

The clearest difference is price: Notion Calendar at Free against Map Note's $2.99. Notion Calendar also leads on ratings volume (7.9K vs 69) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Map Note's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 40%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Notion Calendar is free to download; Map Note costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Notion Calendar holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notion Calendar has 7.9K ratings behind it against 69, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Map Note's written reviews are positive against 40% of Notion Calendar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Map Note ships an update every 4 weeks, Notion Calendar every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 15, 2026 respectively.
