# University Notes vs Notra

The clearest difference is rating: Notra at 5.0 against University Notes's 4.6. University Notes's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (31 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. University Notes sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.79 per month and Notra sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notra holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: University Notes has 31 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of University Notes's written reviews are positive against 75% of Notra's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

University Notes ships an update every 4 days, Notra every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
