Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Summary at free with in-app purchases against AI Notes's subscription. Summary also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (57K vs 2). AI Notes's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads and in-app purchases 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 $8.99 per 7 days and AI Notes sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AI Notes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Summary has 57K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Summary ships an update every 6 days, AI Notes every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
