Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Note! at 4.7 against In Your Note's 4.2. Note! also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 12). In Your Note's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 61%) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 13 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Note! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Note! has 1K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of In Your Note's written reviews are positive against 61% of Note!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

In Your Note ships an update every 5 months, Note! every 13 months. Both last shipped on September 13, 2026.
