# Notebook vs My Notebook

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Notebook at 65% against My Notebook's 18%. Notebook also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (24K vs 25). 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 My Notebook sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notebook holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 24K ratings behind it against 25, 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 18% of My Notebook's.

Notebook ships an update every 6 days, My Notebook every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
