Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Gemini Notebook at none against ChatGPT's shown. Gemini Notebook also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 70%). ChatGPT's advantage is ratings volume (11M vs 61K) and chart position (#1 vs #33). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ChatGPT sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $8.00 per month and Gemini Notebook sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for ChatGPT against 4.9 for Gemini Notebook. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChatGPT has 11M ratings behind it against 61K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 70% of ChatGPT's written reviews are positive against 79% of Gemini Notebook's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
