# Notes, To vs FirstSeed Notes

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Notes, To at 111 against FirstSeed Notes's 1. FirstSeed Notes's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notes, To sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and FirstSeed Notes sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
