# Vox vs NoteBase

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NoteBase at 90% against Vox's 36%. NoteBase also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and ads (none vs shown). Vox's advantage is ratings volume (81 vs 9). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vox sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and NoteBase sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NoteBase holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vox has 81 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Vox's written reviews are positive against 90% of NoteBase's.

Vox ships an update weekly, NoteBase fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
