# Ruler vs Radar.

The clearest difference is ads: Radar. at none against Ruler's shown. Ruler's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
