Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.0
GPA, above 107 of the 147 other note-taking apps we grade
Notezilla is a sticky notes program for Windows 10 and 11 from Conceptworld Corporation. Notes sit on the desktop, can be attached to a specific document, website or program, carry reminders and checklists, and can be filed into folders called memoboards. A yearly subscription adds sync between computers and access from free iPhone, iPad and Android apps and a web app.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Notezilla, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, so we go by the listing: you install it and a note appears on the desktop.
- 1
Best for sticky notes on a Windows desktop that follow you to a phone
Notezilla is sticky notes for Windows: notes sit on your desktop, ring a reminder, and can be stuck to one document or website so they reappear when you open it.
- 2
Paid plans start at $1.66 a month when paid by the year
As its pricing page puts it: $19.95 per year, plus $10.00 for the first year only.
- 3
There is a free plan
The iPhone/iPad and Android apps are free to install and use. The Windows app is paid after its trial, and syncing it with phones needs the subscription plan.
- 4
It runs on 5 platforms
Windows, iOS, Android, Web and macOS.
- 5
Desktop sticky notes
Notes sit on the Windows desktop, can stay on top of other apps, and can be moved into folders called memoboards to clear the desktop.
- 6
Notes attached to documents and sites
A note can be stuck to a web page, document, program, folder or window, and shows up when that item is opened again.
- 7
Reminders and checklists
Any note can carry a reminder alarm, and checklist notes hold to-do items with checkboxes that can be ticked off and sorted.
- 8
A 3.0 GPA, above 107 of 147
That is against the other note-taking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

The report card
Best for sticky notes on a Windows desktop that follow you to a phone
Notezilla is sticky notes for Windows: notes sit on your desktop, ring a reminder, and can be stuck to one document or website so they reappear when you open it. The subscription is $19.95 a year plus $10.00 in the first year. But the desktop program is Windows only, the $29.95 one-time license can't sync with anything, and after a subscription lapses the license covers a single computer.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | The subscription is $19.95 a year, which is $1.66 a month, and it leaves you with a permanent Windows license. The lowest-priced quarter of this category starts at $2.99 a month, so this is well under it. There's $10.00 extra in the first year, or pay $29.95 once for 2 computers with no sync. |
| Free plan and trial | B | The iPhone, iPad and Android apps are free outright, with notes, checklists, reminders, tags and pictures, and neither store listing shows in-app purchases. One person could live on that. The Windows app, which is the main product, is paid after a fully working 30-day trial. |
| Features | C | It does the sticky-note job completely: notes that stay on top, memoboards to file them in, reminders, checklists, tags, pictures, notes attached to a web page or program, and notes sent to a colleague's PC. But that's a smaller job than note-taking, and sync is subscription only. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record, so we go by the listing: you install it and a note appears on the desktop. Nothing to connect, no account, no templates. The only homework is choosing between the two plans before you buy. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | A Windows program, free iPhone, iPad and Android apps, and a web app at Notezilla.Net. On a Mac you're left with the web app. The listing shows no integrations and no API, and an A wants one of those. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Notezilla is for
- Fits if you want notes that stay in view on your Windows desktop
- Works for reminders that belong to one file or website, or quick notes passed between office PCs
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you work on a Mac, as the desktop program is Windows only and the Mac gets the web app
- Not for you if you buy the $29.95 one-time plan and expect your notes on your phone, because that needs the subscription
- Too light for long notes or a knowledge base, since it's built around short stickies
- Watch out: the subscription adds $10.00 to the first year, and once it lapses the license covers one computer
- Watch out: on the one-time plan, major new versions are sold at a discount rather than included
Good to know
Good for
- Windows users who want notes that stay in view on the desktop
- Pinning a reminder to one document, website or program
- Small offices passing quick notes between PCs
Worth knowing
- The desktop program is Windows only. Mac access is through the web app or the iPad app, which the App Store marks as not verified for macOS.
- The $29.95 one-time plan cannot sync or reach notes from other PCs, phones or the web; that needs the yearly subscription.
- The subscription adds $10.00 to the first year, and after it lapses the permanent license covers a single computer.
- On the one-time plan, major new versions are sold at a discounted price instead of being included.

Part 04 · Standing

107/147
Other note-taking apps it is graded above

It stands best on value for money (A, above 62 of 147) and worst on features (C, above 2).
Its paid plans start at $1.66 a month when paid by the year, against a middle price of $5.83 for the category: 5 of the 66 others that charge start lower.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Your call
A notes app at its plainest is text in folders with a search box.
You could make the core of Notezilla for yourself: notes and tasks. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $19.95 a year it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it.
What you could make
- Notes and tasks: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Notezilla’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
