ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Say Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Acti has 44 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Acti's written reviews are positive against 67% of Say Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Acti ships an update weekly, Say Notes every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
