# Expense Tracker vs Kobo

The clearest difference is chart position: Expense Tracker at #200 against Kobo's unranked. Expense Tracker also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Expense Tracker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Kobo sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
