# Survive Squad vs Hold The Line

The clearest difference is ads: Hold The Line at none against Survive Squad's shown. Survive Squad's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Survive Squad sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Hold The Line sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
