# TCM Library vs RedChapters

The clearest difference is ads: TCM Library at none against RedChapters's shown. TCM Library also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). RedChapters's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 0%) and chart position (#86 vs unranked). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TCM Library sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and RedChapters sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
