Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Notesnook at 4.7 against SuperNote's 3.0. Notesnook also leads on ratings volume (653 vs 4). SuperNote's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Notesnook sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and SuperNote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Notesnook holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notesnook has 653 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Notesnook's written reviews are positive against 100% of SuperNote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Notesnook ships an update weekly, SuperNote every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
