# q vs Mobile

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: q at none against Mobile's 1. q also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Mobile's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mobile sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. q asks for nothing beyond the download.

q ships an update monthly, Mobile every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
