Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Notepad at 5.0 against In Your Note's 4.2. Notepad also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months). In Your Note's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 54%) and ratings volume (12 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notepad sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and In Your Note sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Notepad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Notepad's written reviews are positive against 91% of In Your Note's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Notepad ships an update every 4 days, In Your Note every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
