# NoteEase vs Handwriting Book

The clearest difference is rating: NoteEase at 4.4 against Handwriting Book's 3.6. NoteEase also leads on review sentiment (42% vs 0%) and ratings volume (66 vs 7). Handwriting Book's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NoteEase sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per year and Handwriting Book sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.49 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NoteEase holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NoteEase has 66 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of NoteEase's written reviews are positive against 0% of Handwriting Book's.
