# Staventabs vs Easy Note

The clearest difference is rating: Easy Note at 5.0 against Staventabs's 3.8. Easy Note also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.4). Staventabs's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (70 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Staventabs sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Easy Note sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Easy Note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Staventabs has 70 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Staventabs's written reviews are positive against 50% of Easy Note's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Staventabs ships an update every 3 weeks, Easy Note fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
