# My Lists vs Notepad

The clearest difference is rating: Notepad at 5.0 against My Lists's 3.9. Notepad also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 56%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). My Lists's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $6.99) and ratings volume (27 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

My Lists costs $1.99 and Notepad $6.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Notepad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Lists has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of My Lists's written reviews are positive against 91% of Notepad's.

My Lists ships an update every 5 months, Notepad every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
