# Make vs Basket

The clearest difference is ads: Basket at none against Make's shown. Basket also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). Make's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Make sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year and Basket sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Make ships an update every 4 months, Basket every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
