# Secure Notepad Pro vs Memo Notepad

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Secure Notepad Pro at 2.7K against Memo Notepad's 23. Secure Notepad Pro also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and device support (3 vs 1). Memo Notepad's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Secure Notepad Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Memo Notepad sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Secure Notepad Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Secure Notepad Pro has 2.7K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Secure Notepad Pro's written reviews are positive against 72% of Memo Notepad's.

Secure Notepad Pro ships an update every 5 months, Memo Notepad every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
