# Pro Note vs Notebook

The clearest difference is ads: Pro Note at none against Notebook's shown. Pro Note also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (523 vs 15) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pro Note sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Notebook sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pro Note holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 523 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Pro Note's written reviews are positive against 71% of Notebook's.

Pro Note ships an update monthly, Notebook every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 13, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
