    Its design is more modern than Noteflight, it feels more responsive, it's more full-featured, and it doesn't impose the arbitrary limitation on the number of scores you can have that Noteflight does.

    Flat lets you get on with the job because it has a clear interface. Noteflight kept bothering me with Google cap stuff and it really jammed up my browser. I was never able to get past google spying. In Flat there was none of the problems. Flat is designed for getting work done. Noteflight seems designed to feed Google's greed for data.
