# Notebook vs Enter

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Enter at 100% against Notebook's 65%. Enter also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 6) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Enter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 24K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Notebook's written reviews are positive against 100% of Enter's.

Notebook ships an update every 6 days, Enter monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
