# Quick Notes vs Strflow

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Strflow at 97% against Quick Notes's 79%. Strflow also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Quick Notes's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (287 vs 49). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quick Notes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Strflow sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
