# Draw_On_Video vs My Notebook

The clearest difference is rating: My Notebook at 3.8 against Draw_On_Video's 3.2. My Notebook also leads on ads (none vs shown). Draw_On_Video's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (29% vs 18%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Draw_On_Video sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and My Notebook sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My Notebook holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 32 and 28 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Draw_On_Video's written reviews are positive against 18% of My Notebook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Draw_On_Video ships an update weekly, My Notebook every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
