# Matter vs Osmička

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Osmička at none against Matter's 21. Osmička also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0).

Both are free to download. Matter sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Osmička asks for nothing beyond the download.

Matter ships an update weekly, Osmička every 36 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
