Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Note Board at 100% against Corkulous's 61%. Note Board also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Corkulous's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Corkulous sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Note Board sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Corkulous holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Corkulous has 950 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Corkulous's written reviews are positive against 100% of Note Board's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Corkulous ships an update every 3 months, Note Board every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and August 17, 2026 respectively.
