# YPT vs 70 Philo

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 70 Philo at none against YPT's 8. 70 Philo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). YPT's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. YPT sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 70 Philo asks for nothing beyond the download.
