# Summary vs Noted AI

The clearest difference is ads: Noted AI at none against Summary's shown. Noted AI also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 6 days). Summary's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Summary sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Noted AI sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Summary ships an update every 6 days, Noted AI daily. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
