# Ascension vs Pegwise

The clearest difference is ads: Ascension at none against Pegwise's shown. Ascension also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ascension sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Pegwise sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
