# Notion vs Swishle

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Swishle at 100% against Notion's 55%. Swishle also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). Notion's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (90K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notion sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Swishle sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Swishle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notion has 90K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of Notion's written reviews are positive against 100% of Swishle's.

Notion ships an update every 3 days, Swishle every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
