# Digital Notebook vs Gramly

Digital Notebook and Gramly both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 63% of Gramly's written reviews are positive against 10% of Digital Notebook's. Gramly also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). Digital Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (248 vs 13).

Both are free to download. Digital Notebook sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Gramly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Digital Notebook against 4.5 for Gramly. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Notebook has 248 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two.
