SyncSpace lets people express and explore visual ideas together, wherever you are. It is a zoomable drawing space that can be shared in real time over the net. It is a shared whiteboard plus a whole lot more. ∞ DEEP ZOOMING Sketch out your ideas in a nearly limitless, zoomable drawing space. Never again be limited by the size of the canvas or the amount of space remaining in an existing sketch. You can always zoom in to add detail or zoom out to add context to a drawing. With SyncSpace's zooming, handwriting on a 10" screen actually becomes feasible. ∞ SKETCH TOGETHER SyncSpace drawings can be updated by anyone who also has SyncSpace, anywhere on the Internet. You can invite others to collaborate on sketches by sending a link via iMessage or email. In meetings, conferences and schools, SyncSpace can discover and broadcast the existence of nearby shared drawings using Bonjour. There are no limits to the number of people who can collaborate on a drawing. ∞ SHARING IS NICE Your drawings can be shared via Facebook, Twitter, 37 Signals' Campfire, your photo library, or emailed as PDF files. You can also send SyncSpace drawings to any app that handles PDF files, including Dropbox, GoodReader, Evernote, iBooks and thousands more! Sketches can be displayed on a nearby AppleTV or any HDMI or VGA-connected display. Any shared drawings are also advertised on the local network using Bonjour. ∞ SHARE ANYWHERE Collaborate on drawings using SyncSpace or view them with zooming and real-time updates using a web browser on a PC, Mac or mobile device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SyncSpace at 3.6 against myNotes's 2.3. SyncSpace also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). myNotes's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (76% vs 54%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SyncSpace sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and myNotes sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SyncSpace holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of SyncSpace's written reviews are positive against 76% of myNotes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SyncSpace ships an update monthly, myNotes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
