# Nimbus Note vs EasyNotes

The clearest difference is ads: Nimbus Note at none against EasyNotes's shown. Nimbus Note also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 52%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). EasyNotes's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 400). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nimbus Note sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and EasyNotes sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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 — 4.5 for Nimbus Note against 4.6 for EasyNotes. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EasyNotes has 4K ratings behind it against 400, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of Nimbus Note's written reviews are positive against 52% of EasyNotes's.

Nimbus Note ships an update fortnightly, EasyNotes every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
