Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Meeting Notes & Work Planner at 71% against Notepad's 33%. Meeting Notes & Work Planner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Notepad's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notepad sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Meeting Notes & Work Planner sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Notepad holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meeting Notes & Work Planner has 1.9K ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Notepad's written reviews are positive against 71% of Meeting Notes & Work Planner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Notepad ships an update every 3 months, Meeting Notes & Work Planner every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
