# Baby Countdown vs IVY Pulse

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IVY Pulse at none against Baby Countdown's 11. IVY Pulse also leads on ads (none vs shown). Baby Countdown's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.6). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Baby Countdown sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. IVY Pulse asks for nothing beyond the download.
