# Character Count Note vs WeNote

The clearest difference is ratings volume: WeNote at 1K against Character Count Note's 2. WeNote also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Character Count Note's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Character Count Note sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and WeNote sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
