# Annotime vs ParrotNote

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Annotime at 19 against ParrotNote's 1. ParrotNote's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Annotime sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and ParrotNote sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Annotime against 5.0 for ParrotNote. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Annotime has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
