Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Tag Master at Free against What’s My Note?'s $4.99. Tag Master also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 45%). What’s My Note?'s advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.4) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Tag Master is free to download; What’s My Note? costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
What’s My Note? holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: What’s My Note? has 218 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Tag Master's written reviews are positive against 45% of What’s My Note?'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tag Master ships an update every 7 months, What’s My Note? every 4 months. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
