# 优酷视频HD vs Shanda

The clearest difference is device support: Shanda at 3 against 优酷视频HD's 1. 优酷视频HD's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 优酷视频HD sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Shanda sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
