# BPM vs Matby

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Matby at none against BPM's 1. Matby also leads on ads (none vs shown). BPM's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BPM sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Matby asks for nothing beyond the download.
