# abcNotes vs IROGAMI

The clearest difference is update cadence: abcNotes at every 2 weeks against IROGAMI's every 5 weeks. abcNotes also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 482) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. abcNotes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and IROGAMI sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
