Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: StudyPDF at 100% against RemNote's 74%. RemNote's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. RemNote sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and StudyPDF sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RemNote holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RemNote has 1.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of RemNote's written reviews are positive against 100% of StudyPDF's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RemNote ships an update every 3 days, StudyPDF every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
