# Note AI vs Voice Notes

The clearest difference is rating: Voice Notes at 5.0 against Note AI's 4.5. Note AI's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (660 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Note AI sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Voice Notes sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Voice Notes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Note AI has 660 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Note AI ships an update every 5 days, Voice Notes every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
