# Notewise vs Amphi

The clearest difference is rating: Notewise at 4.6 against Amphi's 4.0. Notewise also leads on ratings volume (292 vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). Amphi's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 53%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notewise sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Amphi sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notewise holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notewise has 292 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Notewise's written reviews are positive against 67% of Amphi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Notewise ships an update every 2 days, Amphi weekly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
