# Dropbox vs Timebox It

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Timebox It at none against Dropbox's 11. Dropbox's advantage is chart position (#5 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dropbox sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Timebox It asks for nothing beyond the download.
