# RemNote vs FlashCards

The clearest difference is ratings volume: RemNote at 1.6K against FlashCards's 1. RemNote also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). FlashCards's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RemNote sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and FlashCards sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FlashCards holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RemNote has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

RemNote ships an update every 3 days, FlashCards fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
