# Narrative vs Write Novel

The clearest difference is rating: Write Novel at 5.0 against Narrative's 4.4. Narrative's advantage is ratings volume (51 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Narrative sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Write Novel sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Write Novel holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Narrative has 51 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
