# Japanese vs Word a Day

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Japanese at none against Word a Day's 1. Japanese also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.3). Word a Day's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Word a Day sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Japanese asks for nothing beyond the download.
