# DocuNote vs Smart Tasks

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DocuNote at none against Smart Tasks's 5. DocuNote also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Smart Tasks's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Tasks sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. DocuNote asks for nothing beyond the download.

DocuNote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Tasks has 4.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of DocuNote's written reviews are positive against 79% of Smart Tasks's.

DocuNote ships an update every 4 months, Smart Tasks fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
