# LearnBack vs RecallNote

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RecallNote at none against LearnBack's 3. RecallNote also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). LearnBack's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LearnBack sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. RecallNote asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for LearnBack against 5.0 for RecallNote. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LearnBack has 21 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

LearnBack ships an update every 3 weeks, RecallNote every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 1, 2026.
