# Noted vs Easy Note

The clearest difference is ads: Noted at none against Easy Note's shown. Noted also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). Easy Note's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 16 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Noted sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Easy Note sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Easy Note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Noted has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Noted's written reviews are positive against 50% of Easy Note's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Noted ships an update every 16 months, Easy Note fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 29, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
