# Notevision vs Clefable

The clearest difference is ads: Notevision at none against Clefable's shown. Notevision also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 55). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notevision sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Clefable sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 Notevision against 4.9 for Clefable. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notevision has 3.2K ratings behind it against 55, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of Notevision's written reviews are positive against 86% of Clefable's.

Notevision ships an update weekly, Clefable every 23 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
