The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Meeting Notes & Work Planner holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meeting Notes & Work Planner has 1.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Meeting Notepad's written reviews are positive against 71% of Meeting Notes & Work Planner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Meeting Notepad ships an update every 4 months, Meeting Notes & Work Planner every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
