# Memrise vs Bio

The clearest difference is ads: Bio at none against Memrise's shown. Memrise's advantage is chart position (#201 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Memrise sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month and Bio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
