# Habi vs FirstSeed Notes

The clearest difference is rating: FirstSeed Notes at 5.0 against Habi's 4.6. Habi's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (27 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Habi sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and FirstSeed Notes sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FirstSeed Notes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habi has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Habi's written reviews are positive against 75% of FirstSeed Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Habi ships an update every 4 days, FirstSeed Notes fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
