# To Do List vs Notebook

The clearest difference is review sentiment: To Do List at 100% against Notebook's 33%. To Do List also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. To Do List sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Notebook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

To Do List holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 34 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of To Do List's written reviews are positive against 33% of Notebook's.

To Do List ships an update every 3 weeks, Notebook every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
