Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Auer Jot at Free against TelepaText's $9.99. Auer Jot also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). TelepaText's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.4). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TelepaText holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Auer Jot has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of TelepaText's written reviews are positive against 100% of Auer Jot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TelepaText ships an update every 3 weeks, Auer Jot every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
