# Brain;Notes vs EasyNotes

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EasyNotes at 52% against Brain;Notes's 0%. EasyNotes also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (4K vs 1). Brain;Notes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brain;Notes sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and EasyNotes sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
