# Type vs Flashback

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Type at none against Flashback's 15. Type also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Flashback's advantage is chart position (#19 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flashback sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Type asks for nothing beyond the download.
