# Pocket Note vs LinHand

The clearest difference is rating: Pocket Note at 4.3 against LinHand's 3.0. Pocket Note also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 2). LinHand's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 33%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Note sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and LinHand sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pocket Note holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket Note has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Pocket Note's written reviews are positive against 50% of LinHand's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
