# Note To Self vs Superlist

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Note To Self at 100% against Superlist's 48%. Note To Self also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Superlist's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (460 vs 21). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Note To Self sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and Superlist sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $6.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Note To Self holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superlist has 460 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Note To Self's written reviews are positive against 48% of Superlist's.

Note To Self ships an update every 2 months, Superlist every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
