# Paperparrot vs DropBy

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Paperparrot at 16.0 against DropBy's 18.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paperparrot sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and DropBy sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
