# Notebook vs WorkTorch Next

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WorkTorch Next at none against Notebook's 1. WorkTorch Next also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.

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

WorkTorch Next holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notebook has 14K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
