Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Notanote at every 2 weeks against Simple's every 5 weeks. Notanote also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Simple's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Notanote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Simple's written reviews are positive against 82% of Notanote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Simple ships an update every 5 weeks, Notanote every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
