# SMS Scheduler vs Notification Note

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Notification Note at 77% against SMS Scheduler's 24%. Notification Note also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). SMS Scheduler's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (985 vs 31). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SMS Scheduler sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Notification Note sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notification Note holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SMS Scheduler has 985 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of SMS Scheduler's written reviews are positive against 77% of Notification Note's.

SMS Scheduler ships an update every 4 months, Notification Note every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
