# LessonNote vs Education Walkthrough

LessonNote and Education Walkthrough both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Education Walkthrough's written reviews are positive against 65% of LessonNote's. Education Walkthrough also leads on ratings volume (295 vs 10) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LessonNote sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per 3 months and Education Walkthrough sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 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 — 4.7 for LessonNote against 4.8 for Education Walkthrough. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Education Walkthrough has 295 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of LessonNote's written reviews are positive against 85% of Education Walkthrough's.
