# AI Note Taker vs Recap

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Recap at 100% against AI Note Taker's 28%. Recap also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). AI Note Taker's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AI Note Taker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Recap sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Recap holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Note Taker has 2.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 28% of AI Note Taker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Recap's.
