Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Notely AI at 100% against AI Notebook's 46%. Notely AI also leads on ads (none vs shown). AI Notebook's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (193 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. AI Notebook sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AI Notebook holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Notebook has 193 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of AI Notebook'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AI Notebook ships an update every 9 days, Notely AI fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
