# Noted vs Faith Notes

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Noted at 3.7K against Faith Notes's 6. Noted also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Faith Notes's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Noted sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Faith Notes sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Faith Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Noted has 3.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Noted's written reviews are positive against 50% of Faith Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Noted ships an update weekly, Faith Notes every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
