# Creative Writer vs Danger Notes

The clearest difference is rating: Danger Notes at 4.8 against Creative Writer's 3.7. Danger Notes also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 59%) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 272). Creative Writer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.2 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Creative Writer sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Danger Notes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Danger Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Danger Notes has 2.3K ratings behind it against 272, so its average is the more settled of the two.
