# Tally vs DisplayNote App

The clearest difference is rating: Tally at 4.6 against DisplayNote App's 2.1. Tally also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 21). DisplayNote App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tally sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. DisplayNote App asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tally holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tally has 1.1K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Tally's written reviews are positive against 50% of DisplayNote App's.

Tally ships an update every 10 days, DisplayNote App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
