# LunaSolCal vs IoT

The clearest difference is price: IoT at $0.99 against LunaSolCal's $4.99. LunaSolCal's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

LunaSolCal costs $4.99 and IoT $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
