# AxNote vs myNotes

The clearest difference is rating: AxNote at 4.3 against myNotes's 2.3. AxNote also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (4 vs 2). myNotes's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AxNote sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and myNotes sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AxNote holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of AxNote's written reviews are positive against 76% of myNotes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AxNote ships an update every 2 months, myNotes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
