# S vs Zapper

The clearest difference is device support: S at 3 against Zapper's 1. S also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. S sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Zapper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
