# TLDL vs Notegpt

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TLDL at 73% against Notegpt's 26%. TLDL also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Notegpt's advantage is iOS requirement (13.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TLDL sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Notegpt sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TLDL holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TLDL has 6.7K ratings behind it against 786, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of TLDL's written reviews are positive against 26% of Notegpt's.

TLDL ships an update every 9 days, Notegpt every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
