Overview
Notability is a note app from Ginger Labs, Inc. of San Francisco[14]. It began as an iPad app combining handwriting with synchronised audio recording and now lists apps for iPad, iPhone, Android, web, Mac and Windows[14]. Its current positioning is towards study: the product page highlights live audio transcription, AI-generated quizzes and flashcards, summaries of notes and recordings, chat with notes, checklists of action items from meetings and a YouTube link-to-note feature[14].
Pricing is published in US dollars and billed yearly. The free Starter plan holds five notes. Lite removes the note limit, Plus adds limited AI quizzes and transcription, and Pro unlocks unlimited transcription, AI summaries and chat with notes; business plans add central admin, shared libraries, audit logs and Microsoft Intune integration[13]. At the time of review the page showed a 20%-off promotion, with list prices of US$14.99, US$19.99 and US$99.99 a year for Lite, Plus and Pro[13].
Its strengths are the pairing of ink with recorded audio and a generous set of study tools. The limitations are a five-note free tier, version history of only seven days on Lite, and the concentration of unlimited AI features in the Pro tier, which costs several times more than Lite.
