# Notk vs Lilo

The clearest difference is ads: Lilo at none against Notk's shown. Lilo also leads on ratings volume (4.3K vs 10) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.5). Notk's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 66%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notk sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Lilo sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 — 4.7 for Notk against 4.7 for Lilo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lilo has 4.3K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Notk's written reviews are positive against 66% of Lilo's.

Notk ships an update every 2 weeks, Lilo every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
