# Music vs Start Playing

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Music at 16.0 against Start Playing's 18.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Music sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Start Playing sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
