# Notepad vs Notepad

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Notepad at 79% against Notepad's 33%. Notepad also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). Notepad's advantage is ratings volume (64 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notepad sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Notepad sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notepad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notepad has 64 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Notepad's written reviews are positive against 79% of Notepad's.

Notepad ships an update every 3 months, Notepad every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
