# Airport vs Airbase Command

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Airport at 12.0 against Airbase Command's 15.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Airport sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Airbase Command sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
