# Note Widget + vs AI Summary

Note Widget + and AI Summary both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of Note Widget +'s written reviews are positive against 50% of AI Summary's. AI Summary's advantage is ratings volume (6K vs 438). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Note Widget + sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and AI Summary sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Note Widget + against 4.3 for AI Summary. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Summary has 6K ratings behind it against 438, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of Note Widget +'s written reviews are positive against 50% of AI Summary's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
