Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 22 of the 147 other note-taking apps we grade
Relanote is a web-based note-taking app for building a linked knowledge base, with iOS and Android apps that sync across devices. Notes can be filed in folders, connected with wiki-style bi-directional links and tags, and explored in a graph view. Its AI tools generate whole notebooks from a short prompt, help with writing, and chat with your notes, PDFs, web pages or YouTube videos.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Relanote, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, so we go by the listing: sign up in a browser and start typing.
- 1
Best for linked notes in a browser with AI help built in
Relanote is a browser-based linked-notes app with iPhone and Android apps that sync, a graph view, and AI that can chat with your notes, a PDF or a YouTube video.
- 2
Paid plans start at $4.08 a month when paid by the year

- 3
There is a free plan
Starter plan, free for life with no card required: up to 100 notes, 100 MB of storage, 3,000 AI credits a month, private sharing and community support.
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
Links, folders and tags
Folders and sub-folders sit alongside wiki-style bi-directional links. Typing @ creates a new note or links to an existing one without leaving the page, and # adds a tag.
- 6
Graph view
A mind map-style graph shows how notes and notebooks connect, can be filtered by notebook or tag, and opens any note with a click.
- 7
AI notebooks and writing tools
A few words of prompt can produce a notebook of 50 or more notes. A / shortcut inside a note opens Write with AI, auto-complete and summarizing.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 22 of 147
That is against the other note-taking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Relanote you would be making an AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for linked notes in a browser with AI help built in
Relanote is a browser-based linked-notes app with iPhone and Android apps that sync, a graph view, and AI that can chat with your notes, a PDF or a YouTube video. The free plan stops at 100 notes and 100 MB. Premium is $4.99 a month and still caps storage at 1 GB and AI at 30,000 credits, public sharing is Premium only, and there's no desktop app.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Premium is $4.99 a month, or $49 a year, which lands mid-pack: this category's lowest-priced quarter ends at $2.99 and its middle is $6. It includes 30,000 AI credits a month, but storage still stops at 1 GB on a plan you're paying for. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Starter is free for life with no card. The cap is tight: 100 notes, 100 MB of storage and 3,000 AI credits a month. Keep notes on one course or one project and 100 goes by fast. |
| Features | C | Folders, two-way links from typing @, tags, a graph you can filter, AI that writes inside a note or builds a notebook of 50 from a prompt, and chat over PDFs, web pages and YouTube. The listing's gaps are the limits: storage stops at 1 GB and AI at 30,000 credits even on Premium, and public sharing is Premium only. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record, so we go by the listing: sign up in a browser and start typing. There's nothing to set up, no sync to arrange and no folders to connect, and typing @ makes a link. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Any browser on a computer, plus iPhone and Android apps that sync, and an optional daily backup to Google Drive. No desktop app, which is what an A wants alongside the web and the phones, and Google Drive is the only integration on record with no API. |
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 Relanote is for
- Fits if you want linked notes and a graph without setting up sync or plugins
- Works for students who study from PDFs and YouTube videos and want to ask them questions
Who it is not for
- Tight if you're staying free, because Starter stops at 100 notes, 100 MB and 3,000 AI credits a month
- Skip it if you keep lots of files in your notes, as even Premium caps storage at 1 GB and AI at 30,000 credits
- Not for you if you want to share notes for free, since public links need Premium and private shares need a Relanote account
- Skip it if you want a desktop app, as on a computer it only runs in the browser
- Watch out: a Google Drive backup is the only integration on record, and there's no API
Good to know
Good for
- Students and researchers building a linked set of notes on a topic
- People who want Zettelkasten-style links without setting up sync
- Drafting study notes with AI and then chatting with PDFs or videos
Worth knowing
- The free Starter plan stops at 100 notes and 100 MB of storage, with 3,000 AI credits a month.
- Premium still caps storage at 1 GB and AI use at 30,000 credits a month.
- Publishing a note publicly needs Premium, and a privately shared note can only be opened by someone with a Relanote account.
- The features page lists iOS and Android apps only; on a computer Relanote runs in the browser.

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.
Keep it
To replace Relanote you would be making an AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 98 of the 147 other note-taking apps grade higher. It costs $49 a year.
What you could make
- Notes and linked notes: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Relanote’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.
