Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: HyNote at 7.7K against Notella's 6. HyNote also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 60%) and chart position (#124 vs unranked). Notella's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. HyNote sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Notella sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Notella holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HyNote has 7.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of HyNote's written reviews are positive against 60% of Notella's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HyNote ships an update weekly, Notella every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
