# Weekly Planner vs ClientNote

The clearest difference is ads: Weekly Planner at none against ClientNote's shown. Weekly Planner also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 3). ClientNote's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (88% vs 70%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weekly Planner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ClientNote sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ClientNote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weekly Planner has 15K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Weekly Planner's written reviews are positive against 88% of ClientNote's.

Weekly Planner ships an update every 3 weeks, ClientNote every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
