# UpNote vs D.off

The clearest difference is ratings volume: UpNote at 1.1K against D.off's 1. D.off's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. UpNote sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and D.off sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

D.off holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UpNote has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpNote ships an update weekly, D.off every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
