# ThinkNote vs Adaptus

ThinkNote and Adaptus are too close to call on the numbers: across 6 compared parameters — price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

Both are free to download. ThinkNote sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Adaptus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ThinkNote ships an update every 2 days, Adaptus every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
