# Notewise vs Pocket Check

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pocket Check at 100% against Notewise's 57%. Pocket Check also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Notewise's advantage is ratings volume (297 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notewise sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Pocket Check sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pocket Check holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notewise has 297 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Notewise's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pocket Check's.
