# Notebook vs OlaNote

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: OlaNote at 16.0 against Notebook's 18.0. On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notebook sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and OlaNote sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notebook ships an update every 2 weeks, OlaNote fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
