# Evernote vs Feenote

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Feenote at 91% against Evernote's 50%. Feenote also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Evernote's advantage is ratings volume (78K vs 2.1K) and chart position (#28 vs unranked). 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 Feenote sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Feenote holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evernote has 78K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Evernote's written reviews are positive against 91% of Feenote's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
