# Chords vs Easy Note

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chords at none against Easy Note's 1. Chords also leads on ratings volume (58 vs 1) and review sentiment (68% vs 50%). Easy Note's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy Note sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Chords asks for nothing beyond the download.

Easy Note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chords has 58 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Chords's written reviews are positive against 50% of Easy Note's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Chords ships an update every 9 days, Easy Note fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
