How we grade them
| 3.2GPABundled NotesVery good | 3.0GPAWeNoteVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | APro is $2.79 a month or $27.99 a year, which is under what even the cheaper notes apps here start at. It adds the web app, unlimited bundles and notes, a 15 GB account limit and 400 MB files. | BThe Combo unlocks almost every extra in one go, $34.99 on the US App Store, and it's a one-time buy. Fair. But sync is sold apart: iCloud sync is $14.99 on iPhone and WeNote Cloud is $5 a month on Android. The stores don't show how the other items are billed. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree forever with no ads, but it's the Android app only. You get 8 bundles, 1,000 notes per bundle, 150 MB for the whole account and 20 MB a file. Plenty for text, tight once you attach photos and videos. | BNotes, to-do lists, reminders, the calendar, note lock and local backup are free, with ads but none full-screen. But undo and redo, search inside a note, home widgets and more themes are paid, and which extras cost money differs between Android and iOS. |
| Features | BMarkdown that renders as you type, tags, task tags, kanban boards, attachments, repeating reminders and offline editing. Solid. But there's no end-to-end encryption, nothing on the listing connects it to other apps, and a Mac or Windows app isn't planned. | BNotes and checklists with labels and colours, repeating reminders, a calendar with holidays for 250 countries, and pictures, drawings and voice in a note. Notes can be locked too. But the calendar doesn't sync with Google Calendar. |
| Ease of use | BInstall it, sign in and start a bundle. Each bundle has its own layout and sorting to pick, so there's a little to learn. There's no App Store rating on record to go by, so a B is as high as we go. | A4.83 from about 1,000 App Store ratings. There's no login, so you open it and write. Labels sit across the top as tabs you swipe between. |
| Platforms and integrations | BAndroid, a web app for Pro subscribers, and iPhone in early access. That covers a phone and any browser. No Mac or Windows app is planned, and the listing shows no integrations or API. | CAndroid and iPhone only. The FAQ says there's no Windows version, and no web app is offered. Android syncs to Google Drive or WeNote Cloud and iPhone to iCloud, and the two don't sync with each other. |
| Best for | notes, lists and boards in one Android app | colour notes and reminders on your phone, no login |

Worth knowing
Bundled Notes

- The iOS app is in early access and its App Store listing shows its own Pro prices ($2.99 monthly, $24.99 yearly). A Mac or Windows app is not currently planned.
- The free plan stops at 8 bundles, 1,000 notes per bundle, 150 MB of account storage and 20 MB per file.

WeNote

Key features
Bundled Notes
- Bundles
- A bundle is a notebook with its own layout, color, sorting, grouping, tags and to-do settings, so one can look like a grid of notes and another like a list or a board.
- Markdown editor
- Notes are formatted with Markdown that renders as you type, covering headings, bold, italics, checklists and code, with a formatting toolbar and find-in-text.
- Tags and task tags
- Tags color-code notes and bundles, and tags set up as task tags turn notes into to-do items that can be checked off.
- Kanban boards
- Any bundle can switch to board mode, where notes become cards in custom columns that can be reordered, for projects or custom to-do lists.
- Sync and offline access
- Notes are backed up to your account and synced between devices. They can be read and edited without a connection, and changes sync once you are back online.
- Attachments, links and reminders
- Images, videos and files can be added to notes, pasted links become rich previews, and reminders can be one-off or repeat daily, weekly or monthly.
WeNote
- Notes, to-do lists and shopping lists
- A note holds free text of any length or a checklist. Checklist items are reordered by dragging, struck through with a tap, and moved to the bottom once done.
- Labels and colors
- Notes are organized with labels shown as tabs that you swipe between, and with note colors. Unlimited custom colors are a paid extra.
- Reminders and calendar
- Reminders can be one-time or repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, and notes can be placed on a calendar that can also show public holidays for 250 countries.
- Pictures, drawings and voice
- Pictures, drawings, handwriting and voice recordings can be attached to a note, alongside the text.
- Note lock
- Individual notes and to-do lists, or the whole app, can be locked with a PIN, pattern or password, with fingerprint unlock where the device supports it.
- Sync and backup
- On Android, notes sync to WeNote Cloud or to a hidden Google Drive app folder. On iOS they sync through iCloud, sold as an in-app purchase. Local backups export as a zip file.
