# Metanote vs Orger

The clearest difference is rating: Orger at 5.0 against Metanote's 4.3. Metanote's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Metanote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Orger sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Orger holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metanote has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Metanote ships an update every 2 weeks, Orger every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
