# Minima vs SmartShrink

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Minima at 8.0 against SmartShrink's 14.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Minima sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and SmartShrink sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
