# Jayson vs JSON Scope

The clearest difference is chart position: Jayson at #97 against JSON Scope's unranked. JSON Scope's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jayson sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and JSON Scope sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
