Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PhoneScorer at 5.0 against Notebook's 4.3. PhoneScorer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (523 vs 1) and review sentiment (71% vs 50%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Notebook sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. PhoneScorer asks for nothing beyond the download.
PhoneScorer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 523 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of PhoneScorer's written reviews are positive against 71% of Notebook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
