# Notebook vs Agenda

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Notebook at 24K against Agenda's 3.7K. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notebook sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Agenda sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Notebook against 4.6 for Agenda. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 24K ratings behind it against 3.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 65% and 64% positive.

Notebook ships an update every 6 days, Agenda weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
