Notabe vs Supernotes

Notabe is an iOS, voice-first notes app for capturing spoken or typed thoughts and finding them by meaning. Apple’s on-device speech recognition transcribes voice notes on iPhone or iPad, and the audio is never uploaded. Notabe can automatically title and tag notes, with suggestions that users may edit or ignore. Notes can be spoken, typed, or shared from another app through the iOS share sheet. No sign-up is required; notes sync between Apple devices through iCloud and CloudKit. The Free plan is billed Free forever at free and includes voice and text capture, on-device transcription, automatic titles and tags, five AI summaries per month, and iCloud sync. Pro costs $9.99 a month and adds semantic search, unlimited summaries, a graph of connected notes, collection suggestions, similar notes, tag normalization, asking questions about notes, and daily resurfacing. Users can disable AI processing. Notabe says it has no ads or third-party trackers, does not sell data, and does not use notes or embeddings to train AI models.

Supernotes is a note-taking app that organizes ideas, records, tasks, and lists as digital notecards. Cards can include equations, tables, images, checklists, and emojis, with a soft limit of 1,200 characters. Users can tag, nest, and link cards, search them, and explore their connections with graph views. The apps work offline and merge changes and sync when a device reconnects. Cards can be shared for read-only access or collaborative editing in real time. Supernotes imports from Obsidian, Roam Research, Google Keep, Notion, or Markdown, and exports notes as PDF, JSON, or Markdown. It offers an API and lists integrations including Telegram, Raycast, Pipedream, email, SupaSend, and Funnel. The company says notes are encrypted in transit with SSL and at rest with AES-256, and staff do not access note content without express permission during support. The free Starter plan lists 100 cards. Unlimited costs £6 a month, billed as £72 billed annually, and includes unlimited cards, AI Superpowers, full API and integrations, and priority support.
