Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Ghostnote at none against Bezel's shown. Ghostnote also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Bezel's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 18) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bezel holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bezel has 3.1K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Bezel's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ghostnote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bezel ships an update fortnightly, Ghostnote every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
