Walling lays notes, tasks, links and files out as bricks on a wall, which you can view as a grid, board, table or list. The free plan stops at 10 collections and 25 walls, AI runs on monthly credits, and the older site says it will close on 15 December 2026. - **Value for money: C.** $6.67 a seat a month billed yearly ($8 monthly) for Basic. The category's middle is $5.99 and the dearer quarter starts at $8.25. Plus is $16.67. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A free plan with 10 collections, 25 walls, 50 AI credits and 2 GB of storage, and every paid plan has a 30-day trial. Those caps are easy to reach. - **Features: C.** Bricks, four views, email forwarding, sharing, a browser extension and MCP. The listing's gaps: the iPhone and iPad app is a beta and AI runs on credits you buy more of. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You build your own walls and collections, so there is setup work before it is useful. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, Android, iPhone and iPad (beta) and a browser extension, with MCP for AI tools. There is no desktop app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Walling's own pages on 13 November 2026.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/note-taking ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Walling 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: 137 of the 169 other note-taking apps grade higher. It costs $96 a year. - You could make: Notes, kanban boards and web clipper: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## What people say - **App Store rating of the iPhone and iPad app:** 4.7 out of 5 from 325 ratings in the United States, read Nov 13, 2026. This is the store's rating of the app, not a score from ToolGPA.
