# Zettelbox vs DealLens

The clearest difference is rating: DealLens at 5.0 against Zettelbox's 4.2. Zettelbox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (25 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zettelbox sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and DealLens sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DealLens holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zettelbox has 25 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
