Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Orthotown at 100% against Centric Notes's 0%. Orthotown also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Orthotown sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Centric Notes asks for nothing beyond the download.
Centric Notes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orthotown has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Orthotown's written reviews are positive against 0% of Centric Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Orthotown ships an update every 2 months, Centric Notes every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
