# Notebook vs Find It

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Notebook at 64% against Find It's 8%. Notebook also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.6) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). Find It's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notebook sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Find It sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notebook holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 24K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Notebook's written reviews are positive against 8% of Find It's.

Notebook ships an update every 6 days, Find It every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
