# Luminair vs Nota

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nota at 100% against Luminair's 36%. Nota also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Luminair's advantage is price (Free vs $5.99) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 2). On ads there is nothing between them.

Luminair is free to download; Nota costs $5.99 up front. Luminair sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Nota asks for nothing beyond the download.

Nota holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Luminair has 1.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Luminair's written reviews are positive against 100% of Nota's.
