# Evernote vs Inclr

The clearest difference is rating: Evernote at 4.4 against Inclr's 3.8. Evernote also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (78K vs 27). Inclr's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 51%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Evernote sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $13.95 per month and Inclr sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Evernote holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evernote has 78K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Evernote's written reviews are positive against 60% of Inclr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Evernote ships an update weekly, Inclr every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
