Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PinNote at 4.8 against Easy To Do List's 4.4. PinNote also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Easy To Do List sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and PinNote sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PinNote holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Easy To Do List's written reviews are positive against 95% of PinNote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Easy To Do List ships an update every 11 days, PinNote every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
