# Microsoft Defender vs SITA

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SITA at none against Microsoft Defender's 3. SITA also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Microsoft Defender's advantage is chart position (#163 vs unranked) and device support. On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Microsoft Defender sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. SITA asks for nothing beyond the download.
