# HoneyNote vs QuickNote.AI

The clearest difference is rating: QuickNote.AI at 5.0 against HoneyNote's 4.5. HoneyNote's advantage is ratings volume (123 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HoneyNote sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and QuickNote.AI sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
