# 囚禁 vs Dark Notes

The clearest difference is rating: Dark Notes at 4.7 against 囚禁's 3.1. Dark Notes also leads on ratings volume (30 vs 7). 囚禁's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dark Notes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. 囚禁 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Dark Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 30 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of 囚禁's written reviews are positive against 43% of Dark Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

囚禁 ships an update every 9 days, Dark Notes every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
