# Notezilla vs Notebook

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Notezilla at none against Notebook's 1. Notezilla also leads on ads (none vs shown). Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (523 vs 73). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notebook sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Notezilla asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Notezilla against 4.3 for Notebook. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 523 ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of Notezilla's written reviews are positive against 71% of Notebook's.

Notezilla ships an update monthly, Notebook every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
