# Y vs ルートメモ

Both are free to download. Y sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $5.99 per month and ルートメモ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Y ships an update every 6 weeks, ルートメモ every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
