# Outliner vs Quicknotes

The clearest difference is update cadence: Quicknotes at every 8 days against Outliner's every 2 months. Quicknotes also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%). Outliner's advantage is ratings volume (65 vs 5) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Outliner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Quicknotes sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 — 4.7 for Outliner against 4.8 for Quicknotes. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outliner has 65 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of Outliner's written reviews are positive against 100% of Quicknotes's.

Outliner ships an update every 2 months, Quicknotes every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
