Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NoteEase at 4.4 against myNotes's 2.3. NoteEase also leads on ratings volume (66 vs 4) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 16.0). myNotes's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (76% vs 42%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NoteEase holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NoteEase has 66 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of myNotes's written reviews are positive against 42% of NoteEase's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

myNotes ships an update every 3 weeks, NoteEase monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
