# Speak vs Native Ear

The clearest difference is ads: Native Ear at none against Speak's shown. Speak's advantage is chart position (#9 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speak sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month and Native Ear sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
