Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Intro at 4.9 against Holonote's 4.4. Intro also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 11). Holonote's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (91% vs 75%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Intro holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intro has 2.3K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Intro's written reviews are positive against 91% of Holonote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Intro ships an update every 2 months, Holonote weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
