# AI Note Taker vs Notely AI

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Notely AI at 100% against AI Note Taker's 33%. Notely AI also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). AI Note Taker's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (596 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AI Note Taker sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Notely AI sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AI Note Taker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Note Taker has 596 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of AI Note Taker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Notely AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AI Note Taker ships an update every 3 weeks, Notely AI weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
