# Smart Noter vs Memorae

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Noter at 4.7 against Memorae's 3.3. Smart Noter also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 37). Memorae's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Noter sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Memorae sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart Noter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Noter has 2.4K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 41% of Smart Noter's written reviews are positive against 35% of Memorae's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
