# Throwaway vs Pro Text

The clearest difference is device support: Pro Text at 3 against Throwaway's 1. Pro Text also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Throwaway sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Pro Text sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
