# Blick E vs Pomona

The clearest difference is ads: Blick E at none against Pomona's shown. Pomona's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blick E sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Pomona sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
