# MyNotebook vs Vavus AI

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MyNotebook at none against Vavus AI's 8. MyNotebook also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). Vavus AI's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vavus AI sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. MyNotebook asks for nothing beyond the download.

Vavus AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyNotebook has 43 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of MyNotebook's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vavus AI's.
