# Easy Performer vs StudioNotes

The clearest difference is ads: StudioNotes at none against Easy Performer's shown. StudioNotes also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Easy Performer's advantage is ratings volume (159 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
