# Meeting Notes & Work Planner vs Digital Notebook

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Meeting Notes & Work Planner at 66% against Digital Notebook's 10%. Meeting Notes & Work Planner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 248). Digital Notebook's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meeting Notes & Work Planner sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Digital Notebook sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Digital Notebook holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meeting Notes & Work Planner has 1.9K ratings behind it against 248, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Meeting Notes & Work Planner's written reviews are positive against 10% of Digital Notebook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Meeting Notes & Work Planner ships an update every 3 weeks, Digital Notebook every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
