# Half Marathon vs Ember

The clearest difference is ads: Half Marathon at none against Ember's shown. Half Marathon also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Half Marathon sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Ember sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
