# A24 vs Lighthouse Cinema

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lighthouse Cinema at none against A24's 10. A24's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. A24 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Lighthouse Cinema asks for nothing beyond the download.
