Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NoteSwipe at 100% against Hearty App's 42%. NoteSwipe also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Hearty App's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hearty App sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and NoteSwipe sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hearty App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hearty App has 2.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Hearty App's written reviews are positive against 100% of NoteSwipe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hearty App ships an update every 9 days, NoteSwipe every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
