Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: n+otes at 4.7 against Notez's 4.2. n+otes also leads on ratings volume (45K vs 15). Notez's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. n+otes sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Notez asks for nothing beyond the download.
n+otes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: n+otes has 45K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of n+otes's written reviews are positive against 92% of Notez's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
n+otes ships an update fortnightly, Notez every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
