# BluLines vs WeNotes+

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WeNotes+ at 95% against BluLines's 22%. WeNotes+ also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 316). BluLines's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BluLines sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and WeNotes+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WeNotes+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WeNotes+ has 2.2K ratings behind it against 316, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of BluLines's written reviews are positive against 95% of WeNotes+'s.

BluLines ships an update every 9 days, WeNotes+ every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
