# Shakespeare vs Bear Reader

The clearest difference is ads: Shakespeare at none against Bear Reader's shown. Shakespeare also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shakespeare sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bear Reader sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
