Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Memo Widget at none against Notebook's shown. Memo Widget also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (523 vs 26). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Memo Widget sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Notebook sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Memo Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 523 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Memo Widget's written reviews are positive against 71% of Notebook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Memo Widget ships an update every 2 weeks, Notebook every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
