# SJRunningCo vs PepSona

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SJRunningCo at none against PepSona's 10. SJRunningCo also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). PepSona's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PepSona sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. SJRunningCo asks for nothing beyond the download.
