Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Simple Notes at 4.7 against In Your Note's 4.2. Simple Notes also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (233 vs 12). In Your Note's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 80%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. In Your Note sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Simple Notes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.39 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Simple Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Notes has 233 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 80% of Simple Notes'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, Simple Notes every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
