# Tiny Notes vs iNote

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tiny Notes at 74% against iNote's 17%. Tiny Notes also leads on ratings volume (298 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). iNote's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Notes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and iNote sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iNote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Notes has 298 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Tiny Notes's written reviews are positive against 17% of iNote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tiny Notes ships an update every 4 months, iNote every 7 months. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
