Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Anotato at none against Push Notification's 1. Anotato also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 67%). Push Notification's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (58 vs 3). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Push Notification sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Anotato asks for nothing beyond the download.
Push Notification holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Push Notification has 58 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Push Notification's written reviews are positive against 75% of Anotato's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Push Notification ships an update fortnightly, Anotato every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
