Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Milanote sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.49 per month and AssignList sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AssignList holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Milanote has 4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Milanote ships an update every 5 days, AssignList every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
