# IntelNote vs Summary

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Summary at 100% against IntelNote's 46%. Summary also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks). IntelNote's advantage is ratings volume (72 vs 12). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IntelNote sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Summary sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Summary holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IntelNote has 72 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of IntelNote's written reviews are positive against 100% of Summary's.

IntelNote ships an update every 6 weeks, Summary every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
