# Minutes vs SpeakNotes

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Minutes at 50% against SpeakNotes's 20%. SpeakNotes's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Minutes sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and SpeakNotes sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SpeakNotes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 39 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Minutes's written reviews are positive against 20% of SpeakNotes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Minutes ships an update weekly, SpeakNotes every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
