# Scout Champ vs Notee

The clearest difference is rating: Notee at 4.8 against Scout Champ's 4.3. Notee also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 53). Scout Champ's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (85% vs 69%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notee sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Scout Champ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Notee holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notee has 4.7K ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Scout Champ's written reviews are positive against 69% of Notee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Scout Champ ships an update every 19 months, Notee weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
