# 随手记Pro vs Cookie

The clearest difference is rating: Cookie at 4.9 against 随手记Pro's 4.3. Cookie also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (92% vs 83%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 随手记Pro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Cookie sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cookie holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 357 and 339 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of 随手记Pro's written reviews are positive against 92% of Cookie's.

随手记Pro ships an update fortnightly, Cookie every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
