# Just Write vs Penveil

The clearest difference is rating: Penveil at 5.0 against Just Write's 4.3. Penveil also leads on ads (none vs shown). Just Write's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Just Write sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Penveil sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Penveil holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Just Write has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
