# Due vs DashNote

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DashNote at none against Due's 4. DashNote also leads on price ($1.99 vs $7.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Due's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 2) and chart position (#8 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Due costs $7.99 and DashNote $1.99 up front. Due sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. DashNote asks for nothing beyond the download.

DashNote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Due has 2.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Due's written reviews are positive against 100% of DashNote's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
