# AirDisk vs Smart Noter

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Noter at 4.7 against AirDisk's 4.1. Smart Noter also leads on review sentiment (41% vs 12%) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 151). AirDisk's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AirDisk sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Smart Noter sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart Noter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Noter has 2.4K ratings behind it against 151, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 12% of AirDisk's written reviews are positive against 41% of Smart Noter's.

AirDisk ships an update every 11 days, Smart Noter every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
