# 微唱 vs SimpNote

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SimpNote at 72% against 微唱's 11%. SimpNote also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (74 vs 6). 微唱's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SimpNote sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 微唱 asks for nothing beyond the download.

SimpNote holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SimpNote has 74 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 11% of 微唱's written reviews are positive against 72% of SimpNote's.

微唱 ships an update fortnightly, SimpNote every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
