# CharMap vs PassOff

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CharMap at none against PassOff's 1. PassOff's advantage is iOS requirement (18.5 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

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