# FP Notebook vs Scope Health

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scope Health at none against FP Notebook's 3. Scope Health also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (82% vs 58%). FP Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 22) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

FP Notebook holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FP Notebook has 3.3K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of FP Notebook's written reviews are positive against 82% of Scope Health's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FP Notebook ships an update every 2 months, Scope Health every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
