# Notes vs OffMemory

The clearest difference is update cadence: OffMemory at every 4 days against Notes's monthly. OffMemory also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (5 vs 3). Notes's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notes sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $39.99 per year and OffMemory sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OffMemory holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notes has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Notes ships an update monthly, OffMemory every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
