# NoSheet vs Notey

NoSheet and Notey both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Notey's written reviews are positive against 57% of NoSheet's. Notey also leads on ratings volume (248 vs 28) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). NoSheet's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NoSheet sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Notey sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notey holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notey has 248 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of NoSheet's written reviews are positive against 85% of Notey's.

NoSheet ships an update every 5 days, Notey fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
