# G vs My

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: G at none against My's 1. G also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). My's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 27 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. G asks for nothing beyond the download.

G ships an update every 27 months, My every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
