# Cute Notch vs Dynamic X

The clearest difference is rating: Cute Notch at 5.0 against Dynamic X's 3.9. Cute Notch also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (57% vs 32%). Dynamic X's advantage is ratings volume (61 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cute Notch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Dynamic X sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
