# DOWAY vs TicNote

The clearest difference is rating: DOWAY at 5.0 against TicNote's 4.0. DOWAY also leads on device support (3 vs 1). TicNote's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (50% vs 30%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DOWAY sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and TicNote sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DOWAY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TicNote has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of DOWAY's written reviews are positive against 50% of TicNote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DOWAY ships an update fortnightly, TicNote every 8 days. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
