Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Noteit at Free against Schichter's $5.99. Noteit also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Schichter's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 70%). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Noteit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Noteit has 36 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Schichter's written reviews are positive against 70% of Noteit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Schichter ships an update every 6 weeks, Noteit every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
