# Subscriptions vs Subscription Alert

The clearest difference is device support: Subscriptions at 3 against Subscription Alert's 1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subscriptions sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and Subscription Alert sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
