# FutureNote vs SteadySteps

The clearest difference is rating: SteadySteps at 5.0 against FutureNote's 4.7. FutureNote's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FutureNote sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and SteadySteps sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SteadySteps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FutureNote has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
