# YI Home vs Duonity

The clearest difference is ads: Duonity at none against YI Home's shown. YI Home's advantage is chart position (#80 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. YI Home sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Duonity sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
