# Billdu vs Nova Invoice

The clearest difference is monetization model: Billdu at free with in-app purchases against Nova Invoice's subscription. Billdu also leads on ratings volume (26K vs 336) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Nova Invoice's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Billdu sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Nova Invoice sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
