# Forbes vs Briefd.

The clearest difference is ads: Briefd. at none against Forbes's shown. Briefd. also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.1). Forbes's advantage is chart position (#142 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Forbes sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Briefd. sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
