# MyNotebook vs DropIn

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MyNotebook at none against DropIn's 1. MyNotebook also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (43 vs 4). DropIn's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DropIn sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. MyNotebook asks for nothing beyond the download.

DropIn holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyNotebook has 43 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of MyNotebook's written reviews are positive against 100% of DropIn's.

MyNotebook ships an update monthly, DropIn every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
