# Hevy vs Talon

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Talon at none against Hevy's 4. Talon also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Hevy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (103K vs 1). On price and rating there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hevy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Talon asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Hevy against 5.0 for Talon. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hevy has 103K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
