# Self vs Text Repeater

Self's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Self sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Text Repeater sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
