# Notebook vs AudioNotes

The clearest difference is update cadence: AudioNotes at every 2 days against Notebook's every 2 months. AudioNotes also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notebook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and AudioNotes sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AudioNotes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 35 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Notebook ships an update every 2 months, AudioNotes every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
