# Shortnotes vs COPIX

The clearest difference is rating: Shortnotes at 4.1 against COPIX's 3.1. COPIX's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shortnotes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. COPIX asks for nothing beyond the download.

Shortnotes holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Shortnotes's written reviews are positive against 50% of COPIX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
