# FRNET vs API

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FRNET at none against API's 10. FRNET also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.5). API's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months) and device support. On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. API sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $35.00 per month. FRNET asks for nothing beyond the download.

FRNET ships an update every 11 months, API monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
