# Ralphs vs Ghostnote

Ralphs and Ghostnote both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Ghostnote's written reviews are positive against 14% of Ralphs's. Ghostnote also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Ralphs's advantage is ratings volume (63K vs 18) and chart position (#207 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Ralphs holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ralphs has 63K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Ralphs's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ghostnote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ralphs ships an update weekly, Ghostnote every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
