# Thumsters vs Protocol 75

The clearest difference is device support: Thumsters at 4 against Protocol 75's 1. Thumsters also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thumsters sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Protocol 75 sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
