The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nanonote Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Menlo AI has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Nanonote Pro's written reviews are positive against 93% of Menlo AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nanonote Pro ships an update weekly, Menlo AI every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
