# Kitabi vs BookNote

The clearest difference is ads: BookNote at none against Kitabi's shown. Kitabi's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kitabi sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and BookNote sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
