Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tayasui Memopad at 4.4 against Absolute Board's 3.6. Tayasui Memopad also leads on ratings volume (911 vs 12) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 2 months). Absolute Board's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tayasui Memopad holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tayasui Memopad has 911 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Absolute Board's written reviews are positive against 76% of Tayasui Memopad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Absolute Board ships an update every 2 months, Tayasui Memopad every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
