Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NotionNote at none against Notebook's 3. NotionNote also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Notebook's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 38 months) and ratings volume (186 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notebook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. NotionNote asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NotionNote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 186 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of NotionNote's written reviews are positive against 93% of Notebook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NotionNote ships an update every 38 months, Notebook every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
