# Quick Notes vs Quick Capture

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Quick Notes at 287 against Quick Capture's 3. Quick Notes also leads on device support (5 vs 3). Quick Capture's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quick Notes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Quick Capture sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
