# Pocket vs Cortexa Note

Pocket and Cortexa Note both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Cortexa Note's written reviews are positive against 68% of Pocket's. Cortexa Note also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Pocket's advantage is ratings volume (7K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Cortexa Note sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $49.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Pocket against 5.0 for Cortexa Note. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket has 7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Pocket's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cortexa Note's.

Pocket ships an update every 3 days, Cortexa Note weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
