# CountNote vs Documentally

The clearest difference is rating: CountNote at 4.6 against Documentally's 3.7. CountNote also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (9 vs 3). Documentally's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 37%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CountNote sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Documentally sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CountNote holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of CountNote's written reviews are positive against 75% of Documentally's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CountNote ships an update every 2 days, Documentally weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
