The short version

Where Revenotch is ahead
- A revenue-only product, if that is all you want in the notch.
- An iPhone Island, which NotchBuddy doesn't have. NotchBuddy is a Mac app.
- A $9.90 once price in the October 2026 notes, with a separate $49 lifetime tier. NotchBuddy is $10 once and has no second tier.
- Search. A November 2026 check placed it on the first page for "stripe sales notifications in mac notch".
Where NotchBuddy is ahead
- More than revenue. 19 tools and five pets. Revenotch's notes describe revenue, not a general notch toolbox.
- Three more platforms in the notes we have: RevenueCat, Gumroad and App Store Connect, on top of the five both list.

The October 2026 notes describe it as revenue only: Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Dodo, Paddle and Polar, plus an iPhone Island. They don't list a file shelf, clipboard, Pomodoro or a pet. NotchBuddy does.
What does the $49 tier mean?
The notes list a $9.90 once price and a $49 lifetime tier. They don't spell out what the lifetime tier adds. Check revenotch.com for the current difference.
