# Text Extractor vs CamNote

The clearest difference is rating: CamNote at 5.0 against Text Extractor's 4.3. CamNote also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Text Extractor's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Extractor sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and CamNote sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
