# Daylist vs Note

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Daylist at 69% against Note's 0%. Daylist also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (88 vs 10). Note's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daylist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Note sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Daylist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daylist has 88 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Daylist's written reviews are positive against 0% of Note's.

Daylist ships an update every 9 days, Note every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
