# Nimbus Note vs WeNotes+

The clearest difference is ads: Nimbus Note at none against WeNotes+'s shown. Nimbus Note also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). WeNotes+'s advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (93% vs 75%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nimbus Note sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and WeNotes+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WeNotes+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WeNotes+ has 2.2K ratings behind it against 400, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Nimbus Note's written reviews are positive against 93% of WeNotes+'s.

Nimbus Note ships an update fortnightly, WeNotes+ every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
