# EasyNote vs Notebook

The clearest difference is rating: Notebook at 4.7 against EasyNote's 3.0. Notebook also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). EasyNote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (60% vs 33%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notebook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. EasyNote asks for nothing beyond the download.

Notebook holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 35 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of EasyNote's written reviews are positive against 33% of Notebook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EasyNote ships an update every 10 months, Notebook every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
