# Year Note vs Diary

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Diary at none against Year Note's 1. Diary also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Year Note's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Year Note sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Diary asks for nothing beyond the download.
