# Santoor vs Notemia

The clearest difference is ads: Notemia at none against Santoor's shown. Santoor's advantage is chart position (#191 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Santoor sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Notemia sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
