# Safety Note+ Pro vs n+otes

Safety Note+ Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (77% vs 64%). On rating, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

n+otes is free to download; Safety Note+ Pro costs $3.99 up front. Safety Note+ Pro sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and n+otes sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Safety Note+ Pro against 4.7 for n+otes. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: n+otes has 45K ratings behind it against 739, so its average is the more settled of the two.
