# AlgoApp vs RemNote

AlgoApp and RemNote both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of RemNote's written reviews are positive against 50% of AlgoApp's. AlgoApp's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 1.6K) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AlgoApp sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and RemNote sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for AlgoApp against 4.8 for RemNote. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AlgoApp has 20K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of AlgoApp's written reviews are positive against 73% of RemNote's.

AlgoApp ships an update every 4 days, RemNote every 3 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
