# Notability vs Daily Writing Prompts

The clearest difference is rating: Notability at 4.8 against Daily Writing Prompts's 4.3. Notability also leads on ratings volume (457K vs 29) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Daily Writing Prompts's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 37%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notability sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Daily Writing Prompts sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notability holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notability has 457K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Notability's written reviews are positive against 50% of Daily Writing Prompts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Notability ships an update weekly, Daily Writing Prompts every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
