# SOSAFE vs noteit

The clearest difference is ads: noteit at none against SOSAFE's shown. noteit also leads on ratings volume (99K vs 206) and review sentiment (43% vs 31%). SOSAFE's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SOSAFE sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.90 per month and noteit sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for SOSAFE against 4.8 for noteit. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: noteit has 99K ratings behind it against 206, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 31% of SOSAFE's written reviews are positive against 43% of noteit's.

SOSAFE ships an update every 6 days, noteit fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
