# Simply vs 1 Bit Notes

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simply at none against 1 Bit Notes's 1. Simply also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). 1 Bit Notes's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 1 Bit Notes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Simply asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Simply against 5.0 for 1 Bit Notes. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 1 Bit Notes has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
