# Prism Notes vs Bookmarks

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Prism Notes at 100% against Bookmarks's 40%. Prism Notes also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prism Notes sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Bookmarks sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
