# Answers.tv vs Arkive

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Answers.tv at 16.6 against Arkive's 26.1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Answers.tv sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Arkive sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
