# Quick Note vs Notes

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Notes at none against Quick Note's 1. Notes also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18). Quick Note's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quick Note sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Notes asks for nothing beyond the download.

Quick Note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notes has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Quick Note ships an update every 3 days, Notes every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
