# PinNotes vs CaptionStudio

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: PinNotes at 17.0 against CaptionStudio's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PinNotes sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and CaptionStudio sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
