# noteit vs Zumee

The clearest difference is rating: noteit at 4.8 against Zumee's 3.7. noteit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (98K vs 367). Zumee's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. noteit sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Zumee sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

noteit holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: noteit has 98K ratings behind it against 367, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of noteit's written reviews are positive against 25% of Zumee's.

noteit ships an update fortnightly, Zumee weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
