# Shadow Work vs Viven

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Shadow Work at 13.0 against Viven's 15.1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shadow Work sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month and Viven sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
