# Blink vs Converra

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Converra at none against Blink's 7. Converra also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Blink's advantage is chart position (#168 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blink sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Converra asks for nothing beyond the download.
