# TMZ vs Philadelphia

The clearest difference is device support: TMZ at 5 against Philadelphia's 3. Philadelphia's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
