# Files vs Attention Defender

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Attention Defender at 16.0 against Files's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Files sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Attention Defender sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
