Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RE Planner at 100% against Noteshelf's 57%. RE Planner also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 17) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Noteshelf's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (7K vs 23). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

RE Planner ships an update every 12 months, Noteshelf weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
