# N vs Hone

The clearest difference is rating: Hone at 5.0 against N's 4.0. N's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. N sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Hone sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
