Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RemNote at 4.8 against Deck's 4.0. RemNote also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 4). Deck's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Deck sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months and RemNote sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RemNote holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RemNote has 1.6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Deck's written reviews are positive against 73% of RemNote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Deck ships an update every 3 months, RemNote every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
