# Evernote vs Audio Transcript

The clearest difference is rating: Audio Transcript at 5.0 against Evernote's 4.4. Evernote's advantage is ratings volume (78K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Evernote sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $13.95 per month and Audio Transcript sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Audio Transcript holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evernote has 78K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Evernote ships an update weekly, Audio Transcript every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
