# RecordMark vs Mangonote

RecordMark and Mangonote both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of RecordMark's written reviews are positive against 80% of Mangonote's. Mangonote's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (41 vs 8). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RecordMark sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and Mangonote sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mangonote holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mangonote has 41 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of RecordMark's written reviews are positive against 80% of Mangonote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RecordMark ships an update every 2 weeks, Mangonote every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
