# NoteX vs SourceKeeper

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SourceKeeper at 100% against NoteX's 67%. SourceKeeper also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). NoteX's advantage is ratings volume (726 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NoteX sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and SourceKeeper sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SourceKeeper holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NoteX has 726 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of NoteX's written reviews are positive against 100% of SourceKeeper's.

NoteX ships an update every 8 days, SourceKeeper every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
