# Outline vs WizNote HD

The clearest difference is rating: Outline at 4.7 against WizNote HD's 4.0. Outline also leads on ratings volume (67 vs 12) and device support (3 vs 1). WizNote HD's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 44%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Outline sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and WizNote HD sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Outline holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outline has 67 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Outline's written reviews are positive against 78% of WizNote HD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
