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 review sentiment (89% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases 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 25 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Simple's written reviews are positive against 80% 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 September 9, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
