# Grok AI vs Gemini Notebook

The clearest difference is update cadence: Grok AI at every 2 days against Gemini Notebook's weekly. Grok AI also leads on ratings volume (1.4M vs 61K) and chart position (#4 vs #33). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grok AI sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month and Gemini Notebook sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Grok AI against 4.9 for Gemini Notebook. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grok AI has 1.4M ratings behind it against 61K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Grok AI's written reviews are positive against 79% of Gemini Notebook's.

Grok AI ships an update every 2 days, Gemini Notebook weekly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
