# Constitution for iPhone vs Congress Pro

The clearest difference is price: Constitution for iPhone at Free against Congress Pro's $9.99. Constitution for iPhone also leads on ratings volume (126 vs 23). Congress Pro's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Constitution for iPhone is free to download; Congress Pro costs $9.99 up front. Constitution for iPhone sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Congress Pro sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
