ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Whisper Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whisper Notes has 50 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of ScriptAI's written reviews are positive against 82% of Whisper Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ScriptAI ships an update every 2 weeks, Whisper Notes every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 8, 2026.
