# NoteBase vs Quickmind

The clearest difference is ads: NoteBase at none against Quickmind's shown. NoteBase also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). Quickmind's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NoteBase sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Quickmind sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NoteBase holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 34 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of NoteBase's written reviews are positive against 100% of Quickmind's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

NoteBase ships an update fortnightly, Quickmind every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
