# Pencil vs Kamerbot

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Kamerbot at 15.0 against Pencil's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pencil sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Kamerbot sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
