# NoteCalc vs ScanSimple

The clearest difference is device support: NoteCalc at 3 against ScanSimple's 1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NoteCalc sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ScanSimple sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
