# Autocar vs Cricket Plus

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cricket Plus at none against Autocar's 32. Autocar's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Autocar sells 32 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per 3 months. Cricket Plus asks for nothing beyond the download.
