# Noteum vs NoteBase

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NoteBase at 90% against Noteum's 50%. NoteBase also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Noteum's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (46 vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Noteum sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and NoteBase sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NoteBase holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Noteum has 46 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Noteum's written reviews are positive against 90% of NoteBase's.

Noteum ships an update every 5 days, NoteBase fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
