# Retrace vs Notes

The clearest difference is ads: Retrace at none against Notes's shown. Notes's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
