# ArtGen vs Danger Notes

The clearest difference is rating: Danger Notes at 4.8 against ArtGen's 3.2. Danger Notes also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 63%) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 215). ArtGen's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ArtGen sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Danger Notes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Danger Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Danger Notes has 2.3K ratings behind it against 215, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of ArtGen's written reviews are positive against 84% of Danger Notes's.

ArtGen ships an update every 2 days, Danger Notes every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
