Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Google Voice at 4.3 against DisplayNote App's 2.1. Google Voice also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (62K vs 21). DisplayNote App's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 15%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Google Voice holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Voice has 62K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Google Voice's written reviews are positive against 50% of DisplayNote App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Google Voice ships an update weekly, DisplayNote App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
