# EasyNotes vs Note

The clearest difference is rating: EasyNotes at 4.6 against Note's 2.3. EasyNotes also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 22%) and ratings volume (4K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EasyNotes sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Note sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EasyNotes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EasyNotes has 4K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of EasyNotes's written reviews are positive against 22% of Note's.

EasyNotes ships an update every 9 days, Note every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
