Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Vaia at 4.7 against Notas NUR's 3.9. Vaia also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 9) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Notas NUR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vaia sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Notas NUR asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vaia holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vaia has 1.6K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Vaia's written reviews are positive against 100% of Notas NUR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vaia ships an update weekly, Notas NUR monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
