Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ComicBase Mobile at 5.0 against Noted's 4.5. ComicBase Mobile also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 15) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Noted's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 25%) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ComicBase Mobile holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Noted has 3.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Noted's written reviews are positive against 25% of ComicBase Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Noted ships an update weekly, ComicBase Mobile every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
