# Notevision vs Vocal Range

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Notevision at 88% against Vocal Range's 20%. Notevision also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notevision sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Vocal Range sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
