# Notes vs Ink Now

The clearest difference is ads: Ink Now at none against Notes's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ink Now sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
