# Raindrop.io vs iMarkdown

The clearest difference is rating: iMarkdown at 5.0 against Raindrop.io's 4.5. iMarkdown also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). Raindrop.io's advantage is ratings volume (411 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raindrop.io sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and iMarkdown sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iMarkdown holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raindrop.io has 411 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
