# ZoomNotes Lite vs WizNote HD

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ZoomNotes Lite at 214 against WizNote HD's 12. ZoomNotes Lite also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). WizNote HD's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZoomNotes Lite sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and WizNote HD sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ZoomNotes Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZoomNotes Lite has 214 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of ZoomNotes Lite'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.

ZoomNotes Lite ships an update every 3 weeks, WizNote HD every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 26, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
