# Notion vs Nerve Manifest

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nerve Manifest at 92% against Notion's 54%. Nerve Manifest also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Notion's advantage is ratings volume (91K vs 47) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notion sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Nerve Manifest sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notion holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notion has 91K ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Notion's written reviews are positive against 92% of Nerve Manifest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Notion ships an update every 3 days, Nerve Manifest every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
