# In Your Note vs NoteCircle

The clearest difference is ads: NoteCircle at none against In Your Note's shown. NoteCircle also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). In Your Note's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. In Your Note sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and NoteCircle sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NoteCircle holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NoteCircle has 1.2K 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 70% of NoteCircle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

In Your Note ships an update every 4 months, NoteCircle every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
