Flocci Notes vs Simplenote

Simplenote (by Automattic) is a deliberately minimal, fully free, plain-text notes app with tags and sync. Here is how it honestly compares with Flocci Notes — where each one wins, with pricing as of July 2026.

Which should you pick?

Simplenote is the purist's choice and honestly free. Flocci Notes trades a little of that minimalism for working power: a visual color-coded board, real tick-off checklists, image capture, AI Compose, and a path from scratch note to team wiki — while keeping the personal board free.
