# Text Free vs ChatMaster Plus

The clearest difference is ads: ChatMaster Plus at none against Text Free's shown. Text Free's advantage is chart position (#11 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Free sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and ChatMaster Plus sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
