# Cal vs CalRun

The clearest difference is ads: CalRun at none against Cal's shown. Cal's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cal sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year and CalRun sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
