# LotDate vs ShelfCheck

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: ShelfCheck at 13.0 against LotDate's 18.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LotDate sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and ShelfCheck sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
