# Reading Time vs Underscored

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Underscored at 15.1 against Reading Time's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reading Time sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Underscored sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
