# Active Notes vs Pagewise

The clearest difference is device support: Active Notes at 3 against Pagewise's 1. Pagewise's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Active Notes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Pagewise sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $22.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
