# Lemon vs Note

The clearest difference is rating: Note at 5.0 against Lemon's 4.1. Note also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Lemon's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lemon sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Note asks for nothing beyond the download.

Note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lemon has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
