Pasteline holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Notes, To's written reviews are positive against 68% of Pasteline's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Notes, To ships an update every 6 weeks, Pasteline every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
