# Celestia vs WeekdayWiz

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: WeekdayWiz at 13.0 against Celestia's 16.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Celestia sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and WeekdayWiz sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
