# Blue Light Maps vs Root

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Root at 14.0 against Blue Light Maps's 16.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blue Light Maps sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Root sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
