# Outline Memo vs EasyNotes

The clearest difference is rating: EasyNotes at 4.6 against Outline Memo's 2.5. EasyNotes also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (4K vs 2). Outline Memo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (63% vs 52%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Outline Memo sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and EasyNotes sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EasyNotes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EasyNotes has 4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Outline Memo's written reviews are positive against 52% of EasyNotes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Outline Memo ships an update every 2 months, EasyNotes every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
