Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Just Write at 4.3 against Konspektor's 3.0. Just Write also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 2) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). Konspektor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Just Write holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Just Write has 1.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Just Write's written reviews are positive against 100% of Konspektor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Just Write ships an update every 11 days, Konspektor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
