# vNote vs IROGAMI

The clearest difference is ads: vNote at none against IROGAMI's shown. vNote also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 75%) and device support (3 vs 1). IROGAMI's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (480 vs 14). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. vNote sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and IROGAMI sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

IROGAMI holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IROGAMI has 480 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of vNote's written reviews are positive against 75% of IROGAMI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

vNote ships an update every 6 weeks, IROGAMI every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
