# Utiful vs Progress Frame

The clearest difference is device support: Utiful at 3 against Progress Frame's 1. Utiful also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Utiful sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Progress Frame sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
