# Tone Scan vs Beat

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Tone Scan at 15.5 against Beat's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tone Scan sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Beat sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
