# Minifig Scan vs TinySteps

The clearest difference is device support: Minifig Scan at 3 against TinySteps's 1. Minifig Scan also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Minifig Scan sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and TinySteps sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
