# Fullnotes vs Nursie

The clearest difference is rating: Fullnotes at 4.6 against Nursie's 4.0. Fullnotes also leads on ratings volume (27 vs 2). Nursie's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 43%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fullnotes sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Nursie sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fullnotes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fullnotes has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Fullnotes's written reviews are positive against 75% of Nursie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fullnotes ships an update weekly, Nursie every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
