Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Marune at 4.6 against BJJNote's 3.0. Marune also leads on ratings volume (96 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Marune sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year and BJJNote sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Marune holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Marune has 96 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Marune's written reviews are positive against 80% of BJJNote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Marune ships an update every 5 days, BJJNote every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
