Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Notes Safe at 78% against iNote's 17%. My Notes Safe also leads on ratings volume (83 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). iNote's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iNote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Notes Safe has 83 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of My Notes Safe's written reviews are positive against 17% of iNote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Notes Safe ships an update every 2 months, iNote every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
