# Legato vs Practice Note

The clearest difference is rating: Practice Note at 5.0 against Legato's 4.0. Practice Note also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs monthly). Legato's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Legato sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Practice Note sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Practice Note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Legato has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
