# Note vs Lista

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Note at 100% against Lista's 0%. Note also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Lista's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 3.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Note sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Lista sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lista holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Note's written reviews are positive against 0% of Lista's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Note ships an update every 9 days, Lista weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
