ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ensora Data Collection holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ensora Data Collection has 344 ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Note ABA's written reviews are positive against 15% of Ensora Data Collection's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Note ABA ships an update monthly, Ensora Data Collection every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 18, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
