Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Planner Pro at 4.5 against Meeting Notepad's 2.7. Planner Pro also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 3). Meeting Notepad's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Planner Pro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Meeting Notepad sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Planner Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planner Pro has 13K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Planner Pro's written reviews are positive against 80% of Meeting Notepad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Planner Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, Meeting Notepad every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
