# LinHand vs Note X

The clearest difference is rating: Note X at 4.6 against LinHand's 3.0. Note X also leads on ratings volume (23 vs 2). LinHand's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LinHand sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and Note X sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Note X holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Note X has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
