# Closer vs Doodle Note Widget

The clearest difference is ads: Doodle Note Widget at none against Closer's shown. Doodle Note Widget also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 2). Closer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Closer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Doodle Note Widget sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Closer against 5.0 for Doodle Note Widget. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doodle Note Widget has 12 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.

Closer ships an update every 6 days, Doodle Note Widget every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
