# Notebook vs Dream Wedding Designer

The clearest difference is rating: Notebook at 4.7 against Dream Wedding Designer's 3.5. Notebook also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 2). Dream Wedding Designer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notebook sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Dream Wedding Designer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Notebook holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 14K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
