# mimi vs Now

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: mimi at 13.0 against Now's 18.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. mimi sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Now sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
