# OmniFocus 4 vs Prioritize

OmniFocus 4's advantage is ratings volume (343 vs 7) and device support (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OmniFocus 4 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Prioritize sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
