# NoteCalc vs Tiny Docs

The clearest difference is update cadence: NoteCalc at every 5 days against Tiny Docs's every 2 weeks. NoteCalc also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NoteCalc sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Tiny Docs sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for NoteCalc against 5.0 for Tiny Docs. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NoteCalc has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
