# Notes vs DelayDrop

The clearest difference is update cadence: DelayDrop at every 3 weeks against Notes's every 3 months. Notes's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and DelayDrop sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Notes against 5.0 for DelayDrop. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notes has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Notes ships an update every 3 months, DelayDrop every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
