# Home vs SpendNotes

The clearest difference is rating: SpendNotes at 4.8 against Home's 3.8. SpendNotes also leads on ratings volume (406 vs 4). Home's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SpendNotes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 3 months. Home asks for nothing beyond the download.

SpendNotes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SpendNotes has 406 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Home's written reviews are positive against 69% of SpendNotes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
