# WeNote vs Note

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WeNote at 86% against Note's 22%. WeNote also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (1K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WeNote sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Note sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WeNote holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WeNote has 1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of WeNote's written reviews are positive against 22% of Note's.

WeNote ships an update every 2 weeks, Note every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
