Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Summary at 51K against Notee's 4.7K. Summary also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and chart position (#16 vs #74). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
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. Summary sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Notee sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Summary against 4.8 for Notee. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Summary has 51K ratings behind it against 4.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Summary's written reviews are positive against 69% of Notee's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
