# HDMI vs Retro

The clearest difference is price: HDMI at Free against Retro's $2.99. Retro's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

HDMI is free to download; Retro costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
