# Word Trails vs CrosSolve

The clearest difference is device support: Word Trails at 3 against CrosSolve's 1. Word Trails also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Word Trails sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and CrosSolve sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
