# Escape Time vs Pill Blast

The clearest difference is device support: Escape Time at 3 against Pill Blast's 1. Escape Time also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Escape Time sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Pill Blast sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
