# CraftNote vs ScreenCrate

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ScreenCrate at 100% against CraftNote's 53%. ScreenCrate also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). CraftNote's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CraftNote sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and ScreenCrate sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
