# ZoomNotes Lite vs StudyJourney

The clearest difference is rating: StudyJourney at 5.0 against ZoomNotes Lite's 4.2. ZoomNotes Lite's advantage is ratings volume (214 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZoomNotes Lite sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and StudyJourney sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StudyJourney holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZoomNotes Lite has 214 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
