# Type vs Text or Die

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Type at none against Text or Die's 10. Type also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Text or Die's advantage is chart position (#13 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text or Die sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Type asks for nothing beyond the download.
