# JustNote vs JC Events

The clearest difference is update cadence: JC Events at weekly against JustNote's fortnightly. JC Events also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.1). JustNote's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JustNote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and JC Events sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for JustNote against 5.0 for JC Events. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JustNote has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

JustNote ships an update fortnightly, JC Events weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
