# Text Free vs TOUCH Foundation

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TOUCH Foundation at none against Text Free's 11. TOUCH Foundation also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Text Free's advantage is chart position (#13 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Free sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. TOUCH Foundation asks for nothing beyond the download.
