# Planote vs Candor

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Planote at 24 against Candor's 1. Planote also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.2 vs 26.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planote sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Candor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 — 5.0 for Planote against 5.0 for Candor. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planote has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Planote ships an update fortnightly, Candor every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
