Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AddNotes at 4.8 against Calculator Widget's 4.3. AddNotes also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (365 vs 15). Calculator Widget's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AddNotes sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Calculator Widget asks for nothing beyond the download.
AddNotes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AddNotes has 365 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of AddNotes's written reviews are positive against 100% of Calculator Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AddNotes ships an update every 10 days, Calculator Widget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
