# Shadow vs Nepsis

The clearest difference is ads: Nepsis at none against Shadow's shown. Shadow's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shadow sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Nepsis sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
