# Shadowmap vs Linny

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Linny at none against Shadowmap's 10. Shadowmap's advantage is chart position (#93 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shadowmap sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Linny asks for nothing beyond the download.
