# Danger Notes vs Thinkdrop

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Danger Notes at 84% against Thinkdrop's 31%. Danger Notes also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 35). Thinkdrop's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Danger Notes sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Thinkdrop sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Danger Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Danger Notes has 2.3K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Danger Notes's written reviews are positive against 31% of Thinkdrop's.
