# Chirp vs WristNotes

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chirp at 78% against WristNotes's 50%. Chirp also leads on ratings volume (26 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.2). WristNotes's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chirp sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and WristNotes sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WristNotes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chirp has 26 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Chirp's written reviews are positive against 50% of WristNotes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
