# InvestingNote vs Trade Alert

The clearest difference is review sentiment: InvestingNote at 93% against Trade Alert's 18%. InvestingNote also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). Trade Alert's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trade Alert sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. InvestingNote asks for nothing beyond the download.

Trade Alert holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trade Alert has 512 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of InvestingNote's written reviews are positive against 18% of Trade Alert's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

InvestingNote ships an update every 3 weeks, Trade Alert monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
