Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ant Browser at 86% against WristNotes's 50%. Ant Browser also leads on ratings volume (50 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). WristNotes's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Ant Browser sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and WristNotes sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WristNotes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ant Browser has 50 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Ant Browser's written reviews are positive against 50% of WristNotes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ant Browser ships an update every 2 weeks, WristNotes monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
