# Justnote vs Note

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Justnote at 50% against Note's 0%. Note's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.4) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Justnote sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year and Note sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Note holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Justnote's written reviews are positive against 0% of Note's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Justnote ships an update monthly, Note every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
