# Notes for iPhone vs Notes & Tasks

The clearest difference is rating: Notes for iPhone at 4.0 against Notes & Tasks's 2.5. Notes for iPhone also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). Notes & Tasks's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 34%) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notes for iPhone sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Notes & Tasks sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notes for iPhone holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notes for iPhone has 71 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Notes for iPhone's written reviews are positive against 60% of Notes & Tasks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Notes for iPhone ships an update every 10 days, Notes & Tasks every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on August 30, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
