Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LM NoteBook PRO at 100% against Plane Notes's 46%. LM NoteBook PRO also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). Plane Notes's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Plane Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plane Notes has 100 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Plane Notes's written reviews are positive against 100% of LM NoteBook PRO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Plane Notes ships an update every 2 days, LM NoteBook PRO every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
