# Cheatsheet vs NoteWatch

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Cheatsheet at 1.9K against NoteWatch's 5. NoteWatch'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. Cheatsheet sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and NoteWatch sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NoteWatch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cheatsheet has 1.9K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
