Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Notepad at every 4 days against BundleNote's every 3 months. Notepad also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). BundleNote's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 54%) and ratings volume (54 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 BundleNote sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Notepad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BundleNote has 54 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Notepad's written reviews are positive against 80% of BundleNote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Notepad ships an update every 4 days, BundleNote every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
