# CopyNote vs Copyboard

The clearest difference is rating: CopyNote at 4.7 against Copyboard's 3.0. CopyNote also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (31 vs 2). Copyboard's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CopyNote sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Copyboard sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CopyNote holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CopyNote has 31 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

CopyNote ships an update every 6 days, Copyboard monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
