# QuickNotes X vs SCRIBZEE®

The clearest difference is rating: QuickNotes X at 4.3 against SCRIBZEE®'s 3.8. QuickNotes X also leads on ratings volume (3.8K vs 178). SCRIBZEE®'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and review sentiment (53% vs 38%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuickNotes X sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 3 months. SCRIBZEE® asks for nothing beyond the download.

QuickNotes X holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QuickNotes X has 3.8K ratings behind it against 178, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of QuickNotes X's written reviews are positive against 53% of SCRIBZEE®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

QuickNotes X ships an update every 5 weeks, SCRIBZEE® monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
