# Passwords for Nextcloud vs Notes

The clearest difference is rating: Notes at 5.0 against Passwords for Nextcloud's 4.1. Notes also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Passwords for Nextcloud's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and ratings volume (20 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Passwords for Nextcloud sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Notes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Passwords for Nextcloud has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Passwords for Nextcloud's written reviews are positive against 50% of Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Passwords for Nextcloud ships an update every 2 months, Notes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and August 11, 2026 respectively.
