Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Nested Folder Notes at 4.8 against Notes and Folders's 4.5. Notes and Folders's advantage is ratings volume (300 vs 9). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Notes and Folders sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Nested Folder Notes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Nested Folder Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notes and Folders has 300 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Notes and Folders's written reviews are positive against 74% of Nested Folder Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
