# ProtectWise vs CallShield

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: ProtectWise at 13.0 against CallShield's 16.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ProtectWise sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and CallShield sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
