# FitNotes vs VARIS

The clearest difference is review sentiment: VARIS at 100% against FitNotes's 59%. VARIS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). FitNotes's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FitNotes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and VARIS sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VARIS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FitNotes has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of FitNotes's written reviews are positive against 100% of VARIS's.
